This video first appeared in a fundraiser for Leslie Smith, a piper who is in need of specialist cancer treatment in Mexico, thousands of miles from his home. Please consider helping out in any way you can:

I loved the new F smallpipe sound on the Blair chanter, and I wanted to make a video with some tunes that highlight the sharp 7 (in this case, E... but our "high G" on the highland pipes). This scale really adds some lovely brightness to George Allan and The Mason's Apron - more how you'd hear it on the fiddle or flute.
I'm playing a custom Blair Digital Bagpipe with black aluminum mounts, using the F smallpipe sound available as a free download.

The guitar is a Larrivée D-03R and it's been through the ringer 😬
The mic you see is an MXL 990, and is very, very affordable. I'm still learning - you never really stop, like in anything else - but I believe you can make just about anything sound decent with enough twiddling!

We should really have to pay to watch and listen to masterclasses like this! 🤯

If I had 5 million dollars…. I would give it to see my two favorite pipers in all the world play a song together… Mr Kyle Howie, and the man playing in this video… 👏👏🙌👏👏 you two have gone beyond the constraints that hold us regular humans back… I’ll never be as good as either of you in my life… I guess I have to come to terms with that. But bless you both!!!

This is the single greatest performance of all time
This comes across my feed every so often. It's just so good I have to listen to it on repeat for a few days each time it pops back up.
This is mind blowing technique and musicality! The phrasing and meter of the tunes are beyond me but a pleasure to listen to. The Blair digital chanter has fine voicing and in the key of F sounds very bold with beautiful drone accompaniment! Love Matts guitar playing too. The post he made for the Blair chanter and the tune he played on that is also awesome with guitar accompaniment. A real talent. Thanks for posting! Must get a Blair chanter:)
i cant stop watching this.
Aw man, absolutely love this set. Just discovered all your music fairly recently and I'm so impressed 🙌 think I've played along with this track 20 times(minus the last part I may add, haven't got that yet)🤣, very addictive and always brings a smile.👌
Wow.. Love fast chanter and chords together superb.. Well done both..
I feel like I just walked into a pub in Northumberland. Love the sound and music!
OMG! Awesome!
That’s a great arrangement of the Masons Apron. Lovely set.
bloody hell. that was just incredible
Beyond freekin’ amazing..!!! 💚
watch the tendons in Matts right arm in the faster lower hand sections and be amazed. gives a real sense of how fast his fingers are moving. something to aspire to. brilliant.

Bravo Matt!
Wow! Pretty sure there’s two pipes going there!

Damn dude, brilliant musicality!
Awesomeness
Well done, Son. Well done, indeed.
World-class, as always! Would love to hear a recording of your jazzy version of The Banshee on the low f. whistle.

I knew Matt was a fantastic piper, but I didn’t know he could also be in two places at once!

Its simple quantum mechanics. His fingers are everywhere at once.
Great stuff, very clean fingerwork, must try out the F smallpipe.
Brilliant
Crackin tune
The best.
Wow 🤩
Been jamming to this on drum kit-super easy to play to and sooo groovy! Thank you!
What conference tomorrow? Hinkles live ended too quickly for me to ask. Love this music btw.... reminds me of my friend, Patrick Sky and his Uilleann pipes... the tales I could tell about a long ago illicit ivory purchase in a suburb in New Jersey, but that's a whole different story. Hope I can find the conference you were talking about on Jackson's channel. Or... hope I catch you later on down the road.
WOW! KILLER mix of the guitar and pipe, listening to this on headphones is a real experience! :)

I just wanted to hear if electronic bagpipes can sound like the real thing. Well there might be a video out there that does the job as this one doesnt

These perhaps don't sound like the bagpipes you're looking for - they are tuned to the key of F and have a sharp 7th. The highland bagpipe sound is sampled from a recording of a real set and sounds much closer to what you were expecting here. Thanks for your comment.
Holy dairy cow.

Hey whats the attachment you've got in the chanter? I've had trouble recording my blair chanter without it crackling, does that help?

that's just a right angle 90* adapter. I have a right angle cable but couldn't find it at the time :) It would help yes if you're having trouble with the connection, but I doubt it's the chanter. It could be the cable, try swapping it out?
Awesome player, digital chanter gets annoying.... If Jack helped you off writing Mason's Apron, would you help Jack off writing Mason's Apron?
I’m fairly sure this guy just starting taking performance-enhancing-drugs. I mean, have you heard any of his previous recordings? They’re simply gross.
Schöne Werbung für das Plastikding, ich hätte dich lieber auf einem richtigen Instrument gehört. Wie schnell und trotzdem präzise du spielen kannst kommt auf dem elektronischen Gerät gar nicht richtig zur Geltung. So fast and nice fingering!
