Blimey, that's too long an answer for here. Fortunately, Google will be your best friend. I'll give you a quick description for the Northumbrian small pipes: bellows-blown, the only pipes with a permanently closed end to the chanter. The fingering system is a "closed" system with each note very distinct from the next. Metal keys used to extend the range beyond what the fingerholes provide. Good luck with your research!
@@northumbrianscottish2118 that was kind of stupid to ask here but out of curiosity researched that evening. I like the Northumbrian the best I think. Got it narrowed down which gets me closer to a purchase. Thanks for your videos and reply.
Afraid not! Maybe one day... I mainly do these for myself or for others by arrangement. If I can do anything to help, feel free to contact me at northumbrianandscottish@gmail.com Thanks for your kind words!
I’m so confused.. how are separating the notes as if you were tonguing the reed on a clarinet??? Is this absolutely nothing like the reeded highland pipe chanter I’m used to??? No need for grace notes????
Less about 'grace notes' as you see he lifts some extra holes for tremelo(somewhat the same idea), its more like how a whistle works, GHB are fairly heavy handed(on/off) and you must close most/all holes on bottom hand in position. The northumbrian pipes have a closed bottom and therefore only the unfingered holes can change the note and most often this means closed positions for both hands.
and might I add there are probably hundreds of bagpipes all with different chanters that all function on different physics based on the bore/lenght/materials/reeds etc.
Rowan tree. One of first marches on the pipes *Scottish* :) I love the Northumbrian pipes. lovely sound!!!
Loved this. Always heard it as a March but thought it had the potential to be a beautiful song. Nice work.
Nice!
What is the difference in the Northumbrian pipes, Uilleann pipes, parlor pipes, and Scottish pipes? I have been wanting some for a long time.

So you also make pipes? Got a link?

Everything you say is true! No need to be confused. The Northumbrian Smallpipes: the only bagpipes with a closed end to the chanter.
