Of all instruments, the bagpipe can be the most annoying and more amazing.

The perfect instrument.

I watched a few videos on how the bagpipe works and this one was my favorite. There's also a beautiful song played at the end that I would love to know the name of.

The tune, as they're called when played on the pipes, is Dr. MacPhail's Reel, composed by Andrew Bain. Believe he was a Kiwi piper of some renown, but don't quote me on that. A great tune, well played here for sure that is often used in competition sets known as the March, Strathspey, and Reel. Cheers!

Excellent! Thank you from Buenos Aires!!

I'm gonna want some louder backing pipes there buddy

thank you so much! Very informative and to the point, I love it

So the user isn't directly making sound by blowing. They are just re-inflating a bag of air that is producing the sound.

"of all the souls I have encountered in my travels... His was the m-most... Human 💀"

Gotta say, I think this would be the hardest instrument to learn, let alone play and master. Props to the guys guys can.

Thank you well done

Me who doesn't even own a bagpipe: Well well lets find out.

So, question... if the key to each song is different, can the pipes be tuned for the specific tune, or does another set of pipes have to come into play? Or are the songs for bagpipes generally set in a specific key? This instrument has always fascinated me. Being a musician, I'm always looking to learn the workings of other instruments. Thanks for the video!

They're quickly tuned

Can any song be played on a bagpipe or are some songs and notes out of its range? When my dad passed my brother found a bagpiper to play at his funeral, my dad was a former U.S. Marine and my brother requested he play the Marine Corps Hymn,, the piper said he didn’t think he could play that on a bagpipe. I have to say the bagpiper playing off in the distance during the ceremony way moving.

Can you tune the drones to chords?

@em.142

2 жыл бұрын

Normally on Highland bagpipes they’re all tuned to A, but on some variants like the Scottish smallpipes or Northumbrian smallpipes they can be tuned to different chords, to varying degrees.

@piobmhor8529

Жыл бұрын

I would also like to add that it’s a lot easier to have someone else tune your drones while you make a constant low A on the chanter. If you’re alone, you silence the base and one tenor drone, play a low A and guesstimate how much to move the drone. Try again until you get that tenor drone in tune, then pop the second tenor and tune it to the first one. Repeat for the base drone. Like I said, it’s easier to have a second pair of hands do it for you while you play a steady low A.

I came here to confirm how this instrument works after I have watched queen Elizabeth funeral

neat

How does the bag fill again after the player needs a break. Further, is the bag open to the one side and needs to be covered fully with the arm, so that the air doesn‘t come out?

@jamesmenzies9932

Жыл бұрын

The bag is an airtight bladder made of animal skin such as cowhide or sheepskin. Nowadays it’s also made of synthetic material such as Gore-Tex. It only has the five small openings - three for the drones, one for the chanter that creates the melody and the fifth for the blowstick that has a one-way valve. The bag acts as an air reservoir that is squeezed when the player takes a breath.

How do you achieve that stuttering sound on the chanter?

@mdr1396

3 жыл бұрын

The stutter is from grace notes and other embellishments, quickly lifting and tapping on a specific note without trying to actually hear the note itself, it's more for a break in the constant sound since the chanter reed can't really be stopped to create pauses, so that stuttering is to create the illusion of a break in the sound.

By blowing into the mouth piece. That is what puts the air into the bag. Gentle squeezing with left elbow pushes the air out the pipes and also out the chanter where the fingering is done for the melody notes. The drone notes come out of the pipes. The piece up to the mouth is mainly for air from what I understand.

@justinnaramor6050

@@treywest268 Your observation is correct. So the air coming from your mouth is not what causes the sound (this is how something like a saxophone works); rather, the air coming from the bag is what causes the sound. The air from the mouth/lungs is used only to inflate the bag, nothing more. That's really what makes bagpipes so unique and fascinating to me, but I think it's also why bagpipes are sometimes misunderstood.

i dont have tape

Why the monstrosity in the background?

Can’t hear you over the music. Soooo bad.

Man I last 44 seconds before I had to stop it. No need to play the bagpipes in the background while you’re talking.🤯

Can you give me a bagpipe

Omg I can hardly hear him 😂

That was a long song

First off….great video. But lower the bagpipes in the background or remove it. Trying to listen to your explanation of things is rough with the pipes being so loud and your voice so soft. I only made it through half the video due to that.

Why would you talk and explain it all over the noise of the bagpipes playing in the background? Very annoying

I do not mean that to offend you or anything of that nature. But I can hear what he's saying quite clearly even with the pipes. So I'm a little concerned.

I’ll never understand the bagpipes. No disrespect, I get they are extremely difficult to play, and are part of a rich heritage, but gaddam are they obnoxious lol
