  • That was so beautiful that I had to watch it again...

    Oh, by the way, my girlfriend is from an austrian family and the clothes this woman is using are very similar, not to say the same as austrian traditional clothes.

  • Isn't this bagpipe called Vollynchka or something like that?

  • Greetings from Strakonice :)) 

  • HunGAYrian faszfej!

  • I would say The NSP is more closely related to the French Baroque Musette/SSP type pipes than it is to Bock/Dudy/Duda central Europe type pipes, but dont be fooled: these single reed chanters can be just as persnickety as double reeded ones!

  • Very nice, talented people interested in the Czech heritage !

  • Michael is getting a great sound from his simple single reed (clarinet type) chanter. Does anyone know why the Northumbrian chanters use double (oboe type)reeds ?
