  • "Stevie's first bar" and "The Sandpiper" I use an age-old wooden Hardie practice chanter... it's so old that it was made in the days when bagpipe makers had no idea that the instruments they were making were severely out of tune... i had to modify the Low and High A's and G's with either carving or excessive taping.

  • I'm sure you are a fantastic piper to criticize this performance...but to me it did sound like there was some form of a metronome going on in the background. So even if he wasn't up to your standards there is still no need to discriminate against Hindu's. Since when has head bobbing became one of the numerous Hindu stereotype. That was tasteless and uncalled for. Next time you wish to criticize and pay a complement try to keep genetic (aka ethnic) groups out of it.

  • yeah keep comments like that to yourself...

    its music....chill.

  • Absolutely fantastic son, fan-body-tastic!

    Makes me wish I' wasnt 46, so I'd have a chance at one day being able to lay at this level!

    It looks like you're using some sort of circular breathing, as I never note a break in the tune for catching your breath.. how do yo do that?

    Cheers
