Bagpiper Bruce

This channel documents the raw, unedited journey of learning the Highland bagpipes seriously.

No fancy editing. No polished studio takes. No fake perfection. Just real practice, real mistakes, real progress and the discipline behind getting better.

My name is Bruce Korthout. I am a Dutch bagpiper who started playing Highland bagpipes in October 2021 at age 28.

I use this channel as a public practice diary, logging progress by practice hours instead of only months or years played. You will see practice chanter, Highland pipes, Piobaireachd, MSR work, competition preparation and pipe band playing.

My long-term goal is to reach 10,000 hours of practice and develop toward the highest level of piping: playing in Scotland with a top Grade 1 pipe band at the World Pipe Band Championships.

For pipers, musicians and serious learners who value raw progress over polished perfection.
