    Thankyou! So much! I fell in love with bagpipes at 18mths old while visiting Dads family in Glasgow. Had my first Chanter lesson today age 50. Got to practice bottom half scales this week! Will be watching & learning! Huge appreciation!

    Hi Craig. I'm 49 from New Zealand. I've played drums in a competing PB since the age of 10. Our 9 year old daughter has decided to learn the the pipes, I'll learn with her. I'll remain a band drummer but have always wanted to learn the pipes. Your site is great here, thankyou. Keep up the great work.

    Thanks this is so helpful. I did the pipes at school and want to get back into it again. Ordered my chanter tonight.

    After several failed attempts in my teens, I've picked up the chanter again at aged 52. Finding your videos and downloads extremely helpful and easy to follow. Thank you very much !

    I recently got my first pipes. Couldn't have got this far without Graig's lessons. Best introduction to bagpipes on CZcams.
    Cheers mate

    Thank you so much! I’m scottish and I decided to learn the bagpipes so I ordered a very cheap chanter on amazon for 10 quid but it had good reviews so it came today, I thought it was out of tune and broken until I heard this video and realised it wasn’t! Thanks mate! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻💪🏻

    Thank you for sharing your talent and teaching with us. I'm a more 'mature' learner and was frustrated to not find a local instructor. You fit the bill perfectly! Great, clear instruction. Thank you again!

    About 10 years ago i started, got my practice chanter and went for lessons
    First was also the scale up and down then gracenotes and doublings etc
    Then when i had all wel in hand
    Work got so much that i had to drop lessons
    I Couldn’t practice and soon alm was lost
    10 years later and i now decided
    I wil go again, being 50 years and battling with memory already but will go for it
    I still have my nice wooden chanter but the reeds are shot
    The go close if just starting to blow
    Getting new ones then will
    Follow your channel from start again
    Thanks

    I love your style of teaching! You seem a gifted teacher, and I wonder if you teach privately online. If so, I would definitely be interested. :)

    Hi Craig. Where's best for buying a good chanter?

  • @budyemad3341
    @budyemad3341 Před 3 měsíci

    Hi craig, I noticed that my practice chanter, as well as yours, starts from G# instead of the low G neutral. Is this a common variation, or should it be tuned differently?

  • @paulclinton8775
    @paulclinton8775 Před 11 měsíci

    Does this work if you want to play the bombard chanter? I am really interested in buying one but can't find lessons on how to play the instrument online.

  • @paulharbach5901
    @paulharbach5901 Před rokem

    I'm trying to get the low G.All holes are covered. The low note is much lower than your low G.
    Just got a Barefoot 18 inch practice chanter.
    Does the reed need trimming to get it to the low G ?
    What are your suggestions?

  • @Callum07c
    @Callum07c Před rokem

    For some reason my chanter starts on low A ?

  • @lwpweb
    @lwpweb Před rokem

    pinky on/off the D makes no difference in tone. Is it just for static reasons? Same with C

    • @pipingwithcraig8218
      @pipingwithcraig8218  Před rokem +2

      You would hear a difference on the great highland bagpipe so we learn this way on the practice chanter.
