All the parts from Geoffrey Music, bag, chanter, blowpipe, drones, reeds etc to assemble a budget set of bagpipes.

Good on you, Alex. Do you think you will have a few tunes on it by Hogmanay?

Do you think you will have a few tunes on it by Hogmanay?

Hopefully,yes.
I dabbled with bagpipes in the late nineteen nineties and then sold my set to Hawick Scout Fellowship Pipe Band. I'd like to learn to play a few tunes properly, but it wasn't worth spending a small fortune buying a quality set of Dunbars for the modest standard of performance which I might be able to achieve.

I hope you get on well with your neighbours!

Let us know how you do. I'm still trying to get a toon out of my pipes.

Haha, Alex that's awesome. When I'm in Hawick (...eventually) we'll be set for a ceilidh!

[Jock Scot]

Well done Alex. I have always wished that I could play the pipes. Sadly I cannot get a note out of a triangle! All the very best of luck.

Mmmm !
