Excellent explanation. Best I've seen so far. Thank you.
thank you im 51 and im hoping I can make my mum and dad proud!
loving this i just got a chanter and learnt the scale in one afternoon.Fingers are bloody killing me
Oh wow 👌 best wishing to ya...THANKS
Really useful for a beginner with no tutor nearby.
Yes...THANKS 🙂
Awesome. Thanks!
Great instructions!
Thank you!
I am relearning after over a decade off and boy have I lost it. My birls are sounding like crud! Like riding I bike I will have it back in a few hours of practice. Blenheim Districts Highland pipe band!
Actually helpful
👍 nice
I just got my pipes today and my practice chanter sounds nothing like that
Plz make on amazing grace
I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. But I have to say that sometimes the crossing notes do sound good. Like the lower crossing note sounds just like a low g grace note between the d and e.
That's an excellent point - but do keep in mind that usually that would be referred to as a, "tap," and would be written-in to the music, done entirely on purpose. The thing to avoid are, "accidental," crossover notes. You're totally right, though, that when used correctly they're an excellent embellishment.
I want this chanter
where would i find a chart with all embellishments on so i can print and use to merories what each looks lie ,not going up the scale
it'is outcame same sound for using the chanter..like the metarial is..wood @ metal..please tell...sorry for my english
Thank you for the video! :)
In other wind instruments the d to e would be called a flip. Which is basically a fancy term for wth is that finger change
How much can you buy for 50 us d.? Chanters look perty neat too😉
Mine sounds like a high pitched screaming duck when I play.
It's exceedingly awesome that you're learning how! That description is funny though😅
the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me was when I started learning on the practice chanter and one day while practicing a pair of confused ducks was waddling around on the lawn outside. No lakes or rivers near here....
A varnished turd... lol!
Thought A was higher than G.
You are absolutely correct - A is always higher than G... unless one were talking about, "high G," and, "low A," I suppose that in that case G is higher than A...
Often, when writing the scale with letters, pipers will write it like this, (from bottom to top,): GABCDEFga - the lower case, "g," and, "a," indicating that those are high-G and high-A. So you could write:
DaCaAa
and it would be understood that what's being played is, "D, high-A, C, high-A, low-A, high-A"
@@jamesmoyar9894 thank you for the explanation.
The bagpipe scale from low to high is: Low G, Low A, B, C, D, E, F, High G, High A. By the way, the c and f on a bagpipe scale are actually C# and F#, but we just refer to them as C and F
My chanter plays like a tin whistle... once you hit open hole that's where the pitch stops ?
Everything I play on tin i can play on the chanter ??? Did i buy a fake?
There are videos about how to choose your bagpipes to buy..i hope there's a bit about buying your chanter too... Don't give up! The world needs more bagpipe 🎶 music ❤
That sounds like a b flat. Just listening to the steps. G - A is a whole, A - B sounds like a half, which would mean B flat. Then from B - C which is normally a half sounds like a whole.
Great observation! The scale and pitch for highland bagpipes is a little funny.
This is actually a C# instrument each of the notes from G Major scale sounds like a Ab Major Scale
Why does c sound sharp?
David Ryle omg it does.
Very surprised at the down votes. What’s up with that?
