absolute mad respect for the guy skipping while playing. many people don't understand just how hard that is so hands off to him (both of them did fantastic of course)
I'm not Scottish, but I've travelled to Scotland several times because I love it. These bagpipes bring tears to my eyes every time I hear them, especially on a remote loch or island where you don't expect to hear them. The sound carries far and blends with the wind...
+pachacamacs Could not agree more. I am from Norway myself, but I love Scotland to death. The day I am going under the ground they can cut me in half and bury one half in the Scottish highlands. I've spent the last four years vacation in Scotland and love it more and more. I felt instantly at home in Scotland.
Native Scotsman here, all can say is.... ARE YOU MAD? The bagpipes were made to piss people off! XD The tears it should bring are tears of joy once you know they are finished. Ever walked through a miners town during a Galaday? Just nonstop processions of brass and bagpipe bands. I sight to see and a sound to kill you sense of sound. XD
Excellent piping, guys!! My Dad had a piper on his squadron during the 2nd world war and fell in love with the sound. He could play any instrument by ear, and wanted to learn them. He was "instrumental" in bringing a piping teacher to our small town and he, my sister and brother all learned to play. Dad is gone now, but my siblings still play and are both pipe majors. I was a Highland dancer and taught for a long time. I really enjoyed this! :-)
Being of Scottish (Drummond) and some Irish descent, I have always loved the pipes, since I was a literally a baby. Dad used to take to the NC Highland games at Grandfather Mtn every yr. I am a singer but no talent with instruments- could never learn the pipes but I tried. My youngest sister is a damn fine piper. Played for my wedding, she plays for weddings, funerals, etc... I listen to the pipers from all over the world, many cultures had their own versions of the bagpipes but nowhere truly compares to Scotland (though Ireland comes close lol). If there is music in the afterlife, then it better be bagpipes lol Btw these two are damn good, props to them
Nice to hear those bagpipes being played. They have a peculiar sound no other instrument can make. I have never been to Scotland or England for that matter but perhaps someday I shall visit those countries.
F**king brilliant, the sound of the pipes always sends a shiver down my spine and you can understand how enemies of the past would shit themselves when confronted with a hundred pipers before a battleaxe was even yielded...
+Rob and Rick- Chudej-Martin My father was Pipe Sgt. of The San Francisco Highlanders in the early sixties. Do you know of the once famous band or what ever became of them? Nothing came up but then, video of course was 8mm & not in the hands of everyone.
Really, really, really cool! I don't normally like this sort of thing, but I stumbled upon it randomly here on YT and I'm glad I did........well done! :-)
I love the sound of the bagpipes. That's why i play them for 20 years. i'm not Scottisch, I live in the Netherlands. I'm playing traditional and also in a Scottisch Rockband named "Sassenachs". Really, it is stunning when you cross bagpipes with rockguitar & bass!
+wulf 659 Yes I know. It is the opposite from Albanach, and it's also name for the Englisch and lowlanders. They call the Netherlands also the lowlands. So that's why we give that name to our band.
Hey george, 8 jaar later lees ik je post en wat leuk om te lezen. Ik ben nu net een jaar begonen aan de pipes. Hou ook van de combi van rock met pipes. Ik ga je band opzoeken!
I can watch that video, almost everyday, and it never gets old. I have never been interested in the bagpipes, until like six months ago. And, I am fifty now. These two guys definitely know how to play them pipes. They were definitely jamming in that set. I would love to see the rest of this show, what ever it is.
I think i figuered three songs out after some research via the Internet: 00:41 - Old Wife of the Mill Dust 00:51 - The Gravel Walk 01:02 - The Masons Apron (I think they play it to the end of the video ... they just speed it further up) Sadly i dont know the first songs =/
Anytime I listen to bagpipe music, makes me miss my home Canadian province, Nova Scotia, also known as "New Scotland". If you ever visit Nova Scotia, especially Cape Breton Island, Northern Mainland Nova Scotia, and the Halifax area, you'll often hear bagpipe music, especially during social, cultural, or even some sporting events.
Playing the bagpipes has two modes "this is good music" or "oh gawd kill me." This is good bagpiping. What I can't get over though, when they're circling each other they look like tom turkeys.
Hilarious. Beautiful. Relatable. And the amount of skill and practice needed to reach such a level is impressive. Great job. And a cute ending to boot.
Wish this was longer, especially the faster parts, I LOVE those, if you listen to them you can't help but smile and at least tap ypour feat to the rythm =)
This is what we call piping hot! Talent here outshines most. I never miss College piping at my Daughters school, every Tuesday. It warms my heart we have carried on this tradition.
We have long list of races of people in my family background. Scottish and Irish are part of my family background. With bagpipe I am so proud to see Scottish man or Irish man in a kilt. It brings joy to my heart and my soul. I love you my ancestors from Scottish and Ireland. Keep wearing those kilts with respect, pride, love, joy and peace.
+Barry Webster Without ignorances, I am fully aware of kilts comes from Scotland. In the 20th centruy, It was adopted to the Isles by the Irish nationalists. I understand. In the 16th century, Scottish people have created/produced the kilts long time ago. Take care and be safe. Enjoy your day and your night of peace at Scotland.
I went in Adam Smith College ( Kirkcaldy- FIFE) many years ago, I just love this beautiful people, his history and his pipes, love from Italy and please, leave england and come back to Europe
+lordmasterization White Americans like myself are pure bloods I'm pure Scottish , pure Irish , pure English , pure French , pure Native American and so on. I have family EVERYWHERE , I think it's awsome. Have a WONDERFUL WEEK !!! Peace and Love : )
I picture this happening in the time of the Saxons. "Oi! You, prick, we're gonna settle this right now. You and me let's go right now, pipes to pipes. May the best lungs win and most importantly..... Freeeeedoommmm"
I was told the origin of the bagpipe was to strike terror in the hearts of enemies - it still works really well. Although, I can't tell you how good it is when they stop playing.
Complete opposite for me, if I hear a set of pipes playing in the distance I'm heading straight for them without a shred of fear in my mind. And when they stop playing? Words cannot describe how incredibly sad I get
.... Can only play one chord, think it's B flat when I last checked, so when the chanter plays a melody note outside that chord = = = clash..... when they match it becomes a sweet haunting sound.
pluto Leprechauns are not associated with scotland and they are not meant to mortal so they can't be born.Americans ye are away with the fairies yet you know nothing about them
Bagpipes are the only musical instrument that I can think of that appear "threatening". There is a good reason why England banned the use of this instrument to the Scottish and Irish for a long period of time. I have never been to Scotland or Ireland but my DNA is Scottish. There is something about the pipes that affects me. There is a swelling of pride and a defensive nature that results from hearing this instrument. The Scottish and Irish might take this for granted but I don't.
vidstarr I think what he means by threatening, as in by a government. any idiot could turn a guitar into a battleaxe, or a clarinet into a club, but to be classified as a threat, in the same class as a bio weapon is today. that is the kind of threat he is talking about....and it is truly an understatement what music does to a person. that is why the government is shutting down music programs in schools. no free thinking

If you hear dualling pipers piping you've gone to deep into the highlands. " There can be only one"

This is how marriage should work. You walk up to a woman and play the bagpipes to her. If she likes your song, you become wed.

There's a college of piping? I have clearly chosen the wrong college to attend.

aye they thought they had enrolled on a plumbing course
theres also one in canada.
Attended for a brilliant week years ago - is it still in Otago Street, Glasgow?
In Summerside Prince Edward Island to be exact.@@celest_iah
So skilled, loved this, a joust with bagpipes. Well done all involved. Thank you.
As English as I am, and being a tenor drummer in my younger days,I just love the sound o’ the pipes!

THAT is an absolutely GREAT video. Dueling Bagpipes would have never occurred to me , but I Loved it, and such a classy ending as well.
That was awesome. Plus either they're good actors and well rehearsed or there was genuine rivalry there.

Perhaps not the _best_ video to watch while nursing a caffeine withdrawal headache, but even with that, that was some damn fine bagpipe playing.
The girl had the easy part. All she had to do was stand there and look pretty.
And she did a damn fine job.
Which she did very well.
Leaving this at 69 likes
But at the end, she had to choose.
have you ever stood next to a highland er bagpipe? holy shit they are loud! so no, it was not easy to look pretty next to all those Db's of noise.
Well stand there
A perfect blend of Scotland and Appalachia!
This is so awesome!
I love the sound of the bagpipes!
Having played the pipes in the Army many many years ago (3RAR) I just can't imagine the practice these 2 guys put in to this.., well done.

I love how bagpipes sound.
I know right?
When they're played properly.
So sweet❤
Ai was once told that a gentleman is one who knows how to play the bagpipes and doesn’t.
Yeah why do people hate on them?
Safe to say she's gonna find out who has faster fingers 😏
And that ladies and gentlemen... is a comment. Well done!
10/10
And a bigger pipe
Bwahaha! True story there!
I'm more interested in who can blow harder

Love the premise & who but a heartless soul wouldn't play their lungs out for her. Wink
Loved the playing, but I was expecting one of them to lift up his kilt as a way of impressing her.

They both did her....one from the front, the other from the back and then they switched.......
😂😂😂😂
awesome fight for the girl with bagpipe music
pure joy to watch and hear. thank you.
Dang! Bagpipes are AWESOME sounding ! :)
plot twist: they both end up impressing each other so much that the two of them get together, leaving the girl behind.
I 1000% get behind this scenario!!!
That's exactly what I was thinking. Why fight over a girl when it can just be gay?
I was just thinking the funniest ending would be if the girl walked off with another girl who just happened to walk by.
@Anon Ymous why?
Why does the girl lok so Irish?
Now that was cool.
Be funny if at the end she grabs the pipes and outplays both of them.
Does the part that kick in at 1:23 have a name or anything? Its pretty good.
