    This is real old and clean Fingertechnik. I realized the middlefinger beeing on the chanter while playing High A, instead of the Ring Finger on. This is how it was taught in the old days. I had an Instructor at the College of Piping, Ian Sinclair, who played like this. Very well done.

    It's hard these days finding good videos to watch on KZread but it's extremely rare to find outstanding videos to watch on KZread. This video slots very easily into the outstanding category! What a gem of a find to come across this wee belter. I hope there's more to come 👍

    Der Opi spielt wirklich gut... das zeigt mir, dass Dudelsack spielen das Hirn agil und die Finger fit hält. Eine Motivation für mich weiter zu spielen. Danke dafür und schöne Grüße.

    I know right. He looks like Paul McCartney 😳. I can tell he's a super "gentle man". Great clarity and expression in his plays too.

    What is the name of the speaker/amp that Mr. Blair is using? I know from below that it is Fender Newport but there appears to be dozens of them plus most currently use bluetooth and I believe it needs a 3.5 mm input.

    Hi Gregory, the Fender also has a 3.5mm input so it's possible to bypass the Bluetooth.
