Maybe because people don't get nostalgic when they hear them? Perhaps they don't have any family history surrounding the bagpipes? I mean, sure, I do myself, but I don't get all nostalgic. It sounds... Well, absolutely horrible. Alone, that is. There needs to be more instruments playing. Not just one bagpipe. Otherwise it sounds like shit.
I like the background on the left which portrays the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders holding the "Thin Red Line" against a cavalry attack during the battle of Balaklava. I love the history of the British Army.
I remember when i was younger cartoons would depict bag pipes as horrible sounding torture devices. But then when i heard a bag pipe being played in person i realized how fucking sweet these things sounded. They sound so different and epic then any other intrument on Earth
people need to stop hatong on the bagpipes. if they don't like it then they can shut up and go somewhere else. granted, you can hear a bag pipe from miles away, but still. and i have found that me and all my friends with Scottish heritage seem to have an ear for the pipes. the pipes seem to strike something in us that just screams "home".
The first tune is the 6-part hornpipe "The Clumsy Lover", composed by Neil Dickie. It's followed by 2 jigs - "Paddy's Leather Britches" which is traditional, and "The Seagull" by P.M. Donald McLeod.
P/M Donald MacLeod has written many competition level bagpipe tunes that are still played by plenty of pipe bands and a number of soloists, to this day. Plenty of his works are pretty damn good, in my opinion.
+Jonas Devenport Jonas it all Celtic Culture. My wife's family is Irish Catholic and I am Scottish protestant. We have more in common than differences. Bagpipes are popular in Ireland as well as Scotland and other places in Europe.
2006breakmyballs Contemporary music always largely sucks. Folk music and traditional tunes are good only because they are the handful of songs from their day that were actually good enough for people to preserve.
He's good and play very well !! I'm from Brittany and i love our celtic music ! Each year, all the celtic nations come over here and it's simply magic !!!!
I am from Germany, but i always loved the Bagpipes. Touches my inner Strings like no other Music does. I must have some Celtic Blood in my Veins. Fantastic Piping , thanks very much for uploading
You have this fantastic piper obviously a graduate of the army piping school, and your talking rings and children, but give the wee laddie a hug please, he made me laugh.
Hi, I really appreciate the bagpipes. It always reminds me of my trip to Scottland few years ago which is one of the most beautiful countries I have been to for a long time. I wonder if anyone of you could suggest me a book or video or whatever where I can read more about playing techniques, range, notation, etc… I am really into it and I would like to take a deeper look and maybe write a composition for pagpipes sooner or later, just for my own exercise. Thank you in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a good day
I swear I have a picture of this same fellow when we saw him play in Edinburgh as well! He wasn't at the castle but I think the high street area. He is really good!
+Swamp Fox - Piping is actually great for some respiratory problems. Really expands your lungs. I had asthma and played since I was nine and my friend had cystic fibrosis and the doctors credited it for helping keep her alive (she died at @ 27). It would likely improve your respiratory health.
asthma can be on different levels, like if my friend Iona was to play the bagpipes she would most probably have a massive asthma attack. However, it can be different.
My brother and I filmed this same piper on our trip to Edinburgh in 2010 also! Didn't see him in 2014 when we were back to attend the International Clan Gathering of the MacGregors....
I don't understand why people dislike the sound of bagpipes. I get so nostalgic when I hear one.
im not saying its bad but its kinda annoying to me...
Hyperactivy fair enough.
***** im not saying its bad it just annoys me over time

Whoa whoa, cool your beans, mate. If it sounds horrible to you, that's fair enough.
Most people think this instrument sounds annoying but i think it's one of the most beatiful sounds i've ever heard
This helps calm my 4 week old son when he is screaming. Love it!
5 years later I remember this video and play this back to my now 5 year old son. I still love it - him not so much 😂
@@louiseyoung8346 What about now? You ever show it to him again?
Beautiful music Scotland and Ireland!!
Respect from Norway :)
Brilliant, fantastic and a very talented player - a real pleasure to listen to!
This is Duncan Knight. He plays the bagpipes in the band, Celtica.
The pipes make every man wish he were a Scot!!!
Or Irish and I'm part Irish 🙀
No they don't

monkey4gghplaysgames Irish pipes are different though 😉 I play the highland pipes (Scottish ones)

This makes me proud of being scottish and im in no way, shape or form scottish
He plays the bagpipes brilliantly and they're one of my favourite instruments.

I'm not even Scottish and I love the sound of a set of well-played bagpipes.
The operative word being "screams".
and Irish! ;)
I have to look twice at a man that doesn't love the pipes. There's a some at a'missin'.
"Scottish heritage."
Oh is it that time again?
Bagpipes touch my soul so deep I always cry when hearing one!!
Whenever I can't find my ginger cat, I play this video and he instantly appears. I'm sure that means something.
The best sound in the world is that of bagpipes receding into the distance.
Totally agree:)
Philistine
Spoken like a true German.

I'm not even European and hearing this makes me feel like I'm at home lol. Amazing instrument in my eyes
Oddly enough I feel the same way. I'm Canadian and just enjoy the sound of bagpipes.
+Keegan Chiddle (Pyrokid55) same
+Keegan Chiddle (Pyrokid55) I actually play.

No not awesome Bagpiper. Just Bagpiper. Every Bagpiper is awesome.
+Muscle Wizard amen
+Muscle Wizard true that
You don't like it get off here. You aren't being forced to watch.
Bagpipes are the best, their satisfying to hear. if you hate that. Then fuck off here. ;)
Judy Stock Idiot
Gives me goose bumps sounds great
i love bagpipe music, but listening to this with a migraine was a really stupid idea...
I really respect a piper, because it takes so much practice and skill to be able to play this beautiful sounding instroment!! :D
Agree 👌
My Grandmother was a Kirkpatrick and I love bagpipes, bagpipes and drums is (are) like heaven to me.
Awesome, this guy can really play and the tune is captivating WOW
OVER A MILLION VIEWS!!!!!
congrats man
Well, time to start adding loads of ads! :D
Despite the jokes about them being annoying and hurtful to the ears, many people really enjoy bagpipe music and playing. My self being one of them.
So do I, I am half Scottish (one of my grand - many greats grandfather came in the 17th century from Scotland to the United States).
roninshinobi I'm a kid and I love bagpipes
One of the many reasons I'd love to visit Scotland sometime.
This is one of the best pipers I have ever heard, and I grew up surrounded by pipers and pipe bands.
It's a great alarm clock !!! Love this instrument
I wish I could give this guy a tip
I hate living in America...the music here mostly sucks...well the popular shit sucks...the folk music is pretty good if you know where to look

Amazing tune...loved it. Thanks for sharing.
I like this dress,bagpipes & this music!!
Great work. Honorable display of beautiful art. I;m grateful for your performance as much as I am awe inspired. God speed lad!
very good performing I like bagpipes very much. If you are a bagpipe lover too I recommend you to listen Bulgarian bagpipe. Greetings from Bulgaria.
From the stripes, looks like he's a pipe major...guess that explains it.
Going from the chromatic fingering on the Oboe to a Highland pipe chanter is really tricky, it's so different. I love it
who can help me tell the Scottish that I really love their traditional music especially the bagpipes
I am from Germany, but i always loved the Bagpipes. Touches my inner Strings like no other Music does. I must have some Celtic Blood in my Veins.
Fantastic Piping , thanks very much for uploading
I love the bagpipe. It sends such a nice chill up my back.
they played the bagpipes at my grandpa funeral and i miss him so much
I’m sorry for your loss. RIP 🏴
This music is amazing. Congratulations from Poland.
Great sound, I firmly believe the pipes make the best music. Can't beat the Scots/Irish on the march with the pipes.
You sir an an amazing representation of history and culture. Bravo!👏👏👏👏👏👏
You have this fantastic piper obviously a graduate of the army piping school, and your talking rings and children, but give the wee laddie a hug please, he made me laugh.
In Naples (Italy), we call them "Zampugnaro" in Italian, " O' Zampugnar" in Napolitan
Play this video at the same time you play as the Demoman on TF2 for the best scottish experience!
FREEEDOM!
Wow! He's even got the appropriate pasty shade to go with them. Talk about the total package!
Shit like this brings tears to my eyes.... I don't know how anyone can listen to a master bagpiper and not be moved inside
+Devyn Geremia You're right. Five seconds of that noise and I wanted to throw up.
+TheBreezyTrousers you are an ignorant shit.
Define ignorant
***** disgraceful to another culture
Yep you're the ignorant one
Fabulous piper! Makes it look easy - Crisp and clean.
If i was to learn to play an instrument, it would be the bagpipes x3
I wish that guy would just follow me around in my daily life and play the bagpipes.
I was born and raised in the states but my family comes from Ireland and Scotland, and everytime i hear bagpipes it gets my blood flowin'.

Brings out the Scot in me.
I always like the bagpipes music
For some reason my cats loves this song and always meows and purrs when he hears this!!!???
Man, I feel pretty honored to have bagpipes and kilts in our school marching band.
I swear I have a picture of this same fellow when we saw him play in Edinburgh as well! He wasn't at the castle but I think the high street area. He is really good!
The bagpipes makes me cry, but in a good way. I'd love to see the Edinburgh tattoo.
That is amazing!!!! Thank you for posting this.
Great Job and beautifully done. That was FIRE!!!
I love this version of Clumsy Lover!
Och, aye!!
Nothing like the sound of bagpipes to get my Scottish toes tapping!
Thanks for posting:)
This is the first bagpipe song I've ever heard that doesn't sound like every other one I've ever heard.
Fantastic player of highest level.
*_THIS IS MY JAM!_*
I'm kinda liking his satchmo-esque inflatable neck.
All too common amongst pipers. Inflatable necks or cheeks, which do you prefer ? LOL.
Thanks so much for this marvelous concert! So seldom you hear a competent solo piper playing tuneful music! God save us all from million-pipe bands!
My son Joshua loved the sounds of bagpipes! He is deceased now!
when you want to play bagpipes but have asthma
;-;
+Swamp Fox - Piping is actually great for some respiratory problems. Really expands your lungs. I had asthma and played since I was nine and my friend had cystic fibrosis and the doctors credited it for helping keep her alive (she died at @ 27). It would likely improve your respiratory health.
Susie Q thanks for the comment, and sorry for your friend :c
asthma can be on different levels, like if my friend Iona was to play the bagpipes she would most probably have a massive asthma attack. However, it can be different.
LIVE YOUR DREAMS WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE
Then you play drums
He's good. I mean real good. Hitting those grace notes every time!
Maestro musician. Coordinating that fingerwork, equal to that of any good orchestral wind player.
WOW! World class piper. I've played the pipes for 20 years and seldom hear talent this good.
fantastic piper. very talented
That was fantastic piping!!!!
I'm half Italian and I love to listen to bagpipes

Probably rappers.
I come from an Irish family and it is the best
So that's how it works!!! I've been wondering how do they play music with those using the bag... Thanks!
My brother and I filmed this same piper on our trip to Edinburgh in 2010 also! Didn't see him in 2014 when we were back to attend the International Clan Gathering of the MacGregors....
If you only knew this song played by Laurie Anderson...
Now THAT was masterful.
