I thought I would ask Nigel Richards (Garvie Bagpipes) about this bagpipe with octave key, because he specializes in chanters with 'keys.' I've recently...

Hello! As you probably all know I'm doing a masters and for my topic of choice I'm teaching the smallpipes online. I've been doing this for a while now and...
OK- we're past the Holidays (except Robert Burns' birthday, and Mozart's) so it's time to start thining of what we'll be playing for tunes come Tartan Day. So...
Good luck to y'all Bob - but John Anderson doesn't fit the pipes at all!! Of course I know the version you mean - apart from a vague contour it bears NO ...
Yes, I know it bears very little resemblance to the well known Burns' Song, but it's easily playable and found in the LBPS book. Where did that version come...

Does anyone know how big these reeds are? I have a set in A by Michael Dow and I was wondering if these would fit. I've read that some makers' sets don't...
... I don't know where it came from. It bears little resemblance to any of the traditional versions I've heard or seen. The version in the Scots Musical...
Well, it would be good to know the origin of the tune, to restore its rightful name. It's not a bad tune, IMHO, and shouldn't suffer under th epenalty of...

Ezeedrone will make the reeds specific for your drone if they're familiar with the instrument. I suspect they're not all that familiar with Mike Dow's pipes,...

I had spoken with Ronnie McShannon about drone reeds for my border pipes. He told me the minimum measurements are 6.4mm for the reed seat and 11mm for the...
Ezeedrone reeds are great in all applications. If you let them know the size you need, they can do the rest. Unless the Dow pipes are VERY different in terms...
Why don't you ask Michael Dow himself about the ezeedrone reeds? He knows his pipes better than anyone else! And he can't bite yer head off long distance!!!! ...
... I use ezeedrones in my border pipes. I previously used composite brass/plastic reeds and found that the ezeedrones were significantly longer so I had to...
A friend who plays english music just gave me a copy of "Morpeth Lasses" in Am. It works great on the border pipe when I leave out a couple of low Es. Does...
Morpeth Lasses is an old tune, definitely early 19th century and possibly earlier. Many pipers play it as a slow march but the Angels of the North play it as a...

"You wouldn't play "Danny Boy" on Highland pipes, would you? Please say "no"." This brings up and interesting point: I have told some folks I play Highland...
Yes, I've heard Danny Boy on the highland pipes many times... It sound's kinda weird though because the tune played right exceeds the scale of the Highland...
... This is a perennial topic on the dunsire forum. Of course you can't play it, but you can bodge it, amd some people apparently don't know the difference. ...
... Well, the song could be referring to Irish pipes; they have glens there too ... mean that it has to be played on them. Just my thoughts :) Ruiseart. ...
Not quite Jim, but very close! The tune is Londonderry Air (AKA London Derriere) but the words were written by a London lawyer while commuting to work! The...
Danny Boy on Highland Pipes? Funny you should say that - I've got a great way of setting that. You need to have a well set up pipe, though, with a good 'flat'...
There is a school of thought which thinks that Danny boy should not be played on any instrument on any occasion on the grounds of good tatse. A bit like...
