Miscellaneous Anyone play the bagpipes?

[kevgermany]

This one's doing the internet rounds at the moment:\



My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe that, 2:30am?!
Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes.

That won't be me!!

I haven't started practising yet - got to get my sax solo in next weeks concert out of the way first!

Typical sassenach, ignoring the important instrument.

I've been playing the GHB, Uilleann and Borders pipes for many years. Here is where you need to head for real help in your quest:

You mean the acrylic "wool" made in Sialkot Pakistan specials?

No kilt yet, but if (when?) I get the hang of playing this practice chanter and then progress to actual bagpipes, maybe!

my brother is a "gentleman piper" - the definition of "gentleman piper" is this:
"Someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but chooses not to...."
