My friend just got a set from Roddy MacLellan. He says they sound great. I haven’t heard them yet. I want to get a set for playing bar gigs. Too many times I’ve had people pull on my cords in bars. I can just imagine what I would do if some drunk idiot broke one of my drones.
@@sandiegobagpiper That's the problem. The bag is only about a quarter full and the bags are making the drones create noise. I can't get a good strike in on a quarter bag of air.
This was the very first complete set of pipes that I made. It is leadwood and imitation ivory. My good friend Austin Diepenhorst played them when he won the George Sheriff competition.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.! Very helpful 😊
Excellent trouble-shooting vid which I’ll recommend to my students. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to help the big pipe tribe.
You’re welcome
Thank you for making such a helpful video! How do you get that awesome gurgling sound when you strike in? Could you please make a video about that?
I’ll see what I can do to make a video about that.
Yes that would be great!
Could you explain to me why my bagpipes are not even getting to the point where need to strike them in but just start playing when I blow in air?
All your videos are highly entertaining and educational. Any future vids on cane drone reeds ?
I should definitely do one one cane drone reeds. Do you have any specific questions?
@@sandiegobagpiper new reeds breaking in...bass drone giving me fits pitched to low and bridles slipping.
Tennor drones should be tunes high up as possible
What’s your thoughts on the delrin pipes?

Hmm... I see you're putting a little extra effort into your videos... I like it lol
Trying to keep everyone entertained and get to that one million subscriber level. Then I can quit my day job.
@@sandiegobagpiperBagpipe maintenance videos should get you there!
What do you do to the drone Reed when the bag hardly fills with air?
I’m a little confused as to what you’re asking about.
I have to strike in when the bag has only a small amount of air.
Do your drone reeds make noise when you try to fill the bag completely?
@@sandiegobagpiper That's the problem. The bag is only about a quarter full and the bags are making the drones create noise. I can't get a good strike in on a quarter bag of air.
@@sandiegobagpiper The drone reeds make noise if the bag is almost ull or only a quarter full.
Who’s the maker of this set of bagpipe sir ? they look very nice set

Would you be interested to swap your pipes with old Peter Henderson’s set?
7
Out of 10 or 100?
You can't fix stupid.
I guess that’s why I’m still broken.
No one likes the bagpipes
