Taking up bagpipes in my mid-50’s and found your tutorial seriously easy to follow, with clear and distinct instructions for a beginner like me. Thanks heaps
Thank you so much! I’m scottish and I decided to learn the bagpipes so I ordered a very cheap chanter on amazon for 10 quid but it had good reviews so it came today, I thought it was out of tune and broken until I heard this video and realised it wasn’t! Thanks mate! 🏴🏴👍🏻💪🏻

Thank you for sharing your talent and teaching with us. I'm a more 'mature' learner and was frustrated to not find a local instructor. You fit the bill perfectly! Great, clear instruction. Thank you again!

Hi craig, I noticed that my practice chanter, as well as yours, starts from G# instead of the low G neutral. Is this a common variation, or should it be tuned differently?
I'm trying to get the low G.All holes are covered. The low note is much lower than your low G. Just got a Barefoot 18 inch practice chanter. Does the reed need trimming to get it to the low G ? What are your suggestions?
Does this work if you want to play the bombard chanter? I am really interested in buying one but can't find lessons on how to play the instrument online.

I recently got my first pipes. Couldn't have got this far without Graig's lessons. Best introduction to bagpipes on TH-cam.
Cheers mate

Craig, already voted for you last week! :-)
Can you recommend several brands of NOT too expensive, plastic practice chanters? Thank you.

Hi Craig. Where's best for buying a good chanter?
I love your style of teaching! You seem a gifted teacher, and I wonder if you teach privately online. If so, I would definitely be interested. :)

pinky on/off the D makes no difference in tone. Is it just for static reasons? Same with C
You would hear a difference on the great highland bagpipe so we learn this way on the practice chanter.
For some reason my chanter starts on low A ?
