Depends on whether you want to play quietly indoors sitting down, or loudly anywhere. The finger technique is the same - but you need a good teacher, and a tutor book first, and start learning on a practice chanter; and then you can decide. Bob (I teach in the London/Surrey area)
+Nathan Hutchison Fin probably made these himself; he has certainly now taken over the business from his dad Hamish; the waiting list for new pipes is closed and there's a waiting list to get on the waiting list when it is opened again
I'd say great highland pipes. Bellows pipes are something to try after mouth blown pipes because border pipes take different bag pressure for different notes. Learnt that from my dad the other day he's a pipe maker. I'm starting on the smallpipes but that's because I live in a flat so can't learn highland pipes at the moment.
Smallpipes in A. To which you can add a borderpipes chanter later like the gentleman on the vid. But there are no rules you can start with the big pipes,
Pipes always tend to be a little out of tune (that top A...) but I think that's just something you have to put up with pipes. Having said that, I'm an uilleann player so I guess it's a bit different for border pipes.
Sounds like a cross between Scottish small pipe drones and a GHB chanter. Lovely and wonderful playing.
Thanks for the post, one of the best examples of border pipes.
Beautiful! What a stunning sound!
Lovely!.
Outstanding...! xx
Fantastic!
very very musically played. Well done. Like the sound of the pipes.
excellent..any commentary on the Lowland & other sword dance tunes most welcome
Live the sound of the boarder pipes.
Me too ^=^
Border, not boarder.

Battle of Waterloo
Atom of Delight written by fiddler Derek Hoy
Very nice sound ^=^ I LOVE IT
What’s the name of the first tune. I play it, just can’t remember the name
Wonderful. Which keys ? Thanks for the upload.
Stunning. Love it!
Absolutely brilliant. Especially the second piece.
Is the sheet music for "Atom of Delight" (for fiddle or pipes) published anywhere?
and the border pipes too.

Tá an ceol seo galánta a chara. Music is gorgeous, good on you.
I love the sound of your pipes, can you post who made them or how to find them?

I asked Fin once if he was related to Hamish Moore and he said he was not...
Hahaha, most certainly is!
There are a plenty of them on ebay
Would love to know the name of the tunes if anyone knows them.
MrErmmmmmm The first one is The Battle of Waterloo, not sure about the second.
@@owainwoodmancarr3483 Mate that's fantastic, thank you.
@@GeordieHandle Atom of Delight is the second one.
What is the 2nd tune????
which bagpipe is better for beginners? The border pipes or the great highland bagpipe?
I'd say great highland pipes.

Can you tell us the name of the tunes? The first tune sounds rather similar to the melody of th e Irish music-hall song "Mick McGuire".
The first tune is the battle of waterloo
Back ten years later to ask for the song... Anybody knows?
The name, i mean
@@ReavinBlue Battle of Waterloo, then Atom of Delight.

But seriously, someone above says, "The first one is The Battle of Waterloo, not sure about the second".
Good!
"Bony crossing the Rockies" - now I'd have paid money to see that....har har...

Drums are never to loud.

These are a set of border pipes, not Smallpipes.
Also border pipes have different drones.
shared to #HGWeekly :)
love this!
Drums too loud, and pipes not quite in tune.
What do you mean. they're in tune. And what drum.
Pipes always tend to be a little out of tune (that top A...) but I think that's just something you have to put up with pipes. Having said that, I'm an uilleann player so I guess it's a bit different for border pipes.
Damn those drums man!
