- This is a great step forward for bagpipe innovation, and the ability to play them the way I have for the past two years! I can't wait for other pipers to get these and show off their skills on social media as well.

Thank you, I learned something today!!! My Grandfather's name was MacGinnis so the pipes have always touched my heart!
Nice tutorial. You are becoming a natural presenter.
You singing the notes really helped explain the note spacing.
I have no musical talents/skills, but have always enjoyed the bagpipes. I just learned more about the bagpipe in 9 minutes than I have in 47 years. Bagpipe blown! LOL Thank you for this Ally, great stuff!!
I'll second that.
I Third it.
(and I included you in my comments too)
Nice
A lot of bands have been using a concert A chanter, and just cap the drones. Glad to see this concert B option that will work with standard drones.
I love listening to my fellow musicians talk about what they're passionate about. Thank you for this.
Thanks for your
Banter on the Chanter.
Not a musician, but this explains a lot of what I’ve listened to and why! Thanx!
A nerd video... sweet... Thanks for all the details, Ally. Looking forward to see more of those.
I am sorry, I have no musical skills, and I can't learn that's not my purpose, instead I enjoy see and listen you palying bagpiper, it's a pleasure's moment of the day. Thanks for play so beatifull.
Thank you Ally! This is great news. I appreciate the way you broke it down as well. Another long form could be going into the scales more “mixolydian” vs others as it relates to the pipes. Would also love to hear the same song played with the different chanters.
I found this really interesting being of Scottish nature I hear bagpipes all the time so Thank you
i'm sure you mean Scottish Origin!
@@dr4gon166 yes I’m from edinburgh 🙈
You are truly blessed as a bagpiper. However, in this long format video, I found out you have angelic vocal pipes as well.
*Remarkably talented*
Thank you, and well done. I'm a fan of older pipes and b-flat chanters. I have an a-440 chanter in cocobolo and have developed a way to match modern drone reeds to any pitch a-440 to 476hz, or modern band pitch. Chanter is available to the right player free of charge. Cheers!
Great video! You answered all the questions I had, especially regarding the drones. 🙂👍
What I liked most though, was your enthusiasm, and the sheer joy in music you radiated! It really brings a smile to your face, and makes the world a little better! 🧠 (I can't find a suitable emoji, but imagine this is a happy brain!)
Your knowledge is impressive, young padwan. All kidding aside, we need more videos like this. Thanks, Ally.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁🇺🇸❤️✌️✌️
Sorry Ally, I lost you at the 51 sec. mark ... I don't understand or even read music. I wish I could, but I appreciate your enthusiasm toward explaining the bagpipe chanter, as well as your music.
Thank u for explaining how bagpipes work I'm from New Zealand and it's amazing to see a beautiful check playing all my favourite tunes so thankful 🎉Ally .x
Thank you ! You clarified so many points. I got a bagpipe last Xmas and besides the assembly and tuning I just couldn't understand why it felt so limited.
WOW! This lady can PLAY! John P.
Playing Musical instruments isn't sooo easy hey ! Takes skill/ intelligence/ patience 😊👍 I play guitar & i remember how confusing learning it was for me ! 17 years later I'm 100% comfortable playing guitar & it's very easy now 🎸😝🇦🇺🏄♂️
Also, the part that gets forgotten about much too often is maintenance. Too many novice musicians forget to keep their instruments clean and in temperature regulated areas. This helps keeping the instruments play ready when you want to use them. Also, proper storage. If you leave a guitar on a display stand for a long period of time, it will warp the neck. I have seen it happen more often than I would like to say.
@@Sarge-jn5ps I play drums. Now drums are an instrument…but drummers aren’t musicians. Lol
As a musician myself, I’ve always dismissed the bagpipes, not really understanding them. I’ve learned more about them in a few minutes with you, Ally, than I ever knew and your innovative work-arounds, enabling you to play along with concert instruments, really impress me. Thanks so much!
it takes real talent to make it all sound so easy! you do a great job of explaining all this.

My pipeband uses the B flat chanters with regular drones and pipes sounds great! Perfect when playing with brass and reed bands and other instrument's! Enjoy your awsome videos!!
Good morning from Syracuse NY young lady and everyone else
Good morning from Schenectady, NY!
Hi my friend I enjoy you playing the bagpipes
@@PiperAlly I thought I recognized your accent. I bet Earl did too.
That is so amazing, I'm curious if and how soon we will see greater variety in the pipe band competitions, with the availability of this new chanter/Reed set up.
Unique channel and talent who knows maybe the drop kick Murphys might call they've been playing at the new york state fair for the past couple of years, that would be so cool , take care ally
I have always wondered what keys the bagpipes were capable of. Thank you for sharing this, Ally!
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁🇺🇸✌️❤️🇺🇸
Impressive, like never knew, but bag pipes you have made modern and you play impressing good. Important for music.
There is my favorite bagpipe lady girl I love listening to you play and I you are very knowledgeable I know I have seen you play violin you proabably can play more instruments than that I just haven't seen enough of your videos though but now I have subsribed so I will be seeing more now. OUR BAGPIPE QUEEN I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK AND GREAT PROSPERITY
VERY EDUCATIONAL Video
I learned alot
Thanks
Thanks for this! Our humble little pipe band sometimes plays bar gigs with piano and guitar (and we’ve got a trumpet player who wants to join us, too!) I’ve had a hard time explaining why the bagpipes don’t sound quite right with the other instruments. This proved very helpful!
Very informative and I learnt something new.
Ally, thank you so much. You answered my question regarding what key is a bagpipe in. Simple question, difficult answered simple.
W O W! Talk about going to school...that is so cool! Never knew playing the bagpipes was so involved. Thanks for the lesson!
I love how she put 3 finger on her shoulder to display the drones 😂
Excellent information presented clearly and concisely . Very well done. Thank you. I forgot to mention, you also have a beautifully clear voice. Your tone lacks the electronic junk that is added to todays music. The spontaneous way you sang out the notes was ear pleasing. You should sing some songs yourself!!!!!!
This was the video that led me to follow you. I loved learning about the bagpipes from this.
Thankyou ally
Great explanation, well done!!!
I love the Skarl of the pipes at any time of year and I think that someone near me also plays the pipes.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁✌️❤️🇺🇸
Thanks on that demo in Shorts. That really illustrates your point.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁✌️😘❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great job
To make things even more confusing, pipers generally talk as though the instrument was actually tuned to a 440 concert A, which hasn't been true for a very long time, if it ever was. It certainly was before I started, and I've been playing for over 50 years. There was so much information in this video it makes my head spin. If I watch it 4 or 5 more times, maybe I'll sort it all out.
Well thank you for the knowledge I didn't know any of this
Looking forward to seeing you live at the Pittsburgh Irish festival if you hear a quiet harmonica just ignore it and consider it a tribute to your talent
I knew you were a talented piper - but you are also a music technologist. I had many questions abt piping pitches. You addressed them all with aplomb. Now I see why pipes are typically accompanied by DRUMS (no pitch there!) 😂
You are amazing.
My favorite❤
I have allways before. Not beeing able to listen to Bagpipe playing. Intill i found your channel. Now i know wye. 🤭👍
Эли ты умничка и прекрасный исполнитель успехов тебе Звездочка взошла на небосклоне🌹
Poor g1 jock ...... died metres from my house........ funeral was a spectacle someone of the best pipers snd drummers in thr world played and marched as a massed band ..
I did learn! Thank you Ally
Thanks! 🙂😎
Very interesting!
That veri cool ally ❤
This was an amazing video...19 years and didn't know about this Chanter stuff like that....Question: a week! reed will do the same off scale or seated off scale....that excludes a crap Chanter, Soft Reed....and tape can alter the scale...
.So watch Simon Freiser University

Competition pipe Bands...world Championship
Hi there I found this video really interesting I don't play eny instruments but my son plays a few instruments thanks for the tutorial, I like this sort of thing every now and then it makes the chanel a bit more rounded. So thanks again and keep up the good work
Youre Eyebrowews are perfect
I m ur fan coz u play a real bag Piper but other they r playing with costimised bag Pipe so .............I'm ur fan
Well I now know that bagpipes have chanters, that you can change, and that the other pipes are called drone pipes and that they can have extenders put on them. 🙂
My wife is a concert Bassoonist that plays in a symphony orchestra. She has a recurring nightmare that she forgot her reeds or broke them before a concert. Glad that you were able to sort that in the wings (~phew). She carries many extra auxiliary reeds in her case so she can adapt to changing weather conditions. Do your reeds react to changing weather conditions, barometric pressure, humidity and temperature?

Informative, thanks

Love the video!
I have two sets of shuttle pipes each in a different key: one in A and the other in B. I have about a dozen chanters in four different keys: A, B, C and G. I would love to get a set of great highland bagpipes but I wouldn' be able to play it in my condo, sadly....

Very informative. Thank you for sharing this information.

Great video Ally!!
Very nice I know you always sound great 👍👍👍
Nice video. I'm looking forward to learn playing bagpipes and my question is, do you have any recommendations for beginners in terms of bagpipes and any tip how to start?
Thanks
I'm looking for the music
that the Scots played to their warriors when they were sent away.
Very informative - thanks for sharing.
I don't have any pets.
Very bafully music 🎶

All I know is, your N-chanter is best cause you have me and millions of others (EN-chant-ed)!!!!!!!
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁❤️✌️✌️
Thanks ally , I am exiting always to learning from your new vedio. You are amazing. I am a bagpiper from India🇮🇳. I want to learn that using tape on chanter. Please help me.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁❤️✌️✌️
I'm not a musician and I knew it was complicated but wow 😁
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁✌️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

This was awesome and you were great at explaining this. I am just now learning the scale on my first cheap chanter. Do you have any tips or advice about how to matchup my lower hand to the holes easier and more consistently? I feel like my pinky and ring fingers are in an uncomfortable position when on the holes.
I got my new G1 practice chanter today and it made all the difference, not only do I sound a lot better, but the holes are in more comfortable positions. I'm going to chalk this one up to a learning experience that even just for learning purposes it's worth the little extra expense for a quality chanter. Thank you, Ally, so much for the recommendation to check out G1.
I just got a blair electric bagpipe so I could try to play music with my son who plays piano and alto sax but i cannot figure out what frequency we need to play in order to sound good. This was a good start but we are still strugglilng.

Quite the rebel👍
I didn't understand a single word because unfortunately I didn't study English, but it sure was nice to hear your voice :)
Since you can write English turn on closed captioning.
@@markhorton3994 Hello . Unfortunately, automatic translation is not available in Ukrainian.
@@user-ih4np5yb4r I meant closed captions in English. It is easier to understand written English than spoken. It won't hurt and might help.
@@markhorton3994 👍
Bedankt
The moment of presenting this couldnt be a better timing for me! Im just getting ready to start and play with a rockband.
@@bagpiperbruce omg I’m so excited to hear that!! I hope you guys post music online I’d love to hear
@@PiperAlly will do! you can already see a little on my channel if you like but that was just a try out to see if i could play on a podium. its the video on 1 year progress at the end. I will start in march with both a pipe band as a rock band 😀
I love your hair color
I hope you're having a good day.
I think I’m too old to learn the bagpipes and I really want to
So, when ACDC put the bagpipes on "It's a Long way To The Top", which is in A, did they have to tune up to B Flat to play with the pipes?
Hi Ally
I am from India I am also bag piper and I want to learn from u of unique bag pip 😮
OMG you are soooooo gorgeous
No pets myself, but I am the designated sitter for Pierre (Guinea Pig), GiGi (Gerbil) and Dervish (Hamster.) Formerly for the late Trinket (Hamster) and Lola (Jack Russell terrorist.)
good
Like cross harp , on harmonica
So if you were performing a variety of tunes do you set up multiple pipes for the performance?
Well, when you were playing those popular songs on your pipes, what chanters are you using exactly or are you using a pitch shifter in a DAW?
Hello I saw your video on Valhalla Calling Me with your twist and absolutely loved it would you interested in doing I Wanna Be In The Cavalry
I am friends with a exx piper but I don't know if he still has his set of pipes.
