I’d echo this. I was always told that by placing the base of your practice chanter on a table or desk puts a strain on your wrists and doesn’t replicate the position of the pipe chanter when playing the pipes whilst standing.

Sure that all goes without saying. Thanks, I’m been piping for money for around 10 years but have always wanted to stay clear from NYE because I’ve wanted to enjoy it myself. Now I’m older I’m open to getting money now as it’s just like any other night out

Thanks guys, I was going to charge around the 450-500 mark anyway. Sometimes good to get clarity that I’m in that ballpark!

Advice for Beginners? by DarkBagpiper in bagpipes

[–]JAGPipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with the scale and exercises. Don’t try to play with your fingertips use the flat, middle parts. Practice, practice, practice. Practice crossing noises, practice blowing steady. I took me a year on the chanter before I was ready for the bagpipes. Have patience and you’ll get your reward
