@@MarethSchwab Me too! They are so talented and sing songs for the soul.

@@mrshrall05 Thank you, Martha! ❤️

@@ShamusinBemidji Yes! The wind was so strong! My bass drone was getting blown off my shoulder, so I was tilting my head to secure the drone in place! 😳💨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😂

Are you studying there in Skye? I read that the estate the encompasses the memorial is for sale.

@@ShamusinBemidji Not studying there. Although that would be amazing! Just made a “pilgrimage” visit with my sons and student. I heard that the property had been sold last year and now has new owners. They were nowhere to be found. So we just followed the path through the grazing pastures to get there. We were already in Scotland for the World Pipe Band Championships. This was part of our add-on post-World’s trip. 😉 An amazing opportunity.

@@DavidMacfarlane-h9l The refurbishment of the Hunt of the Unicorn tapestry is in progress. There was a room displaying it all, including the skein of yarn(?) being used. I will post a video of it.

Or stairs!😁

Matt: I'm really glad this video is helpful. Thank for the feedback! 🙂

@@simonhutchinson2252 Hello Simon. It’s great to be here!

@@tareqdubbein5756 I am glad this is helpful. You are very welcome!

Hi. I made a video on getting a good sound from your practice chanter. See if this helps: ua-cam.com/video/k9r58OfX9AQ/v-deo.htmlsi=sXTRhrl3kjzkA_7t If it doesn't help, I can tell you that my practice chanter is a polypenco (plastic) McCallum Long chanter. www.hendersongroupltd.com/product/mccallum-long-poly-practice-chanter-with-imitation-ivory/ You can order it from many different vendors. In the USA I like to purchase from Henderson Imports in Traverse City, Michigan. And here is the reed I like to use in the McCallum Poly Chanter: www.hendersongroupltd.com/product/frazer-warnock-practice-chanter-reed/ But there are many other really good quality practice chanters available out there in the world. I'd say you don't want pay less than about $80 USD for a practice chanter. This helps ensure you get a good quality chanter. I hope this helps.

@@melissabautz2346 Thanks. Sounds interesting. I'm from Germany, I hope they deliver to Germany.

@@trenchvalor I am so glad this is useful. Thanks for the comment.

@@glendabrannan8795 Oh yes! Hello Glenda! Great to see your post. I am glad you enjoy.

Hello! Are you a member of this pipe band?

@@liamerickson6074 Not yet. But we will soon. 😊

Ok thank you. I did not know that!

@@melissabautz2346 Hi, Melissa, do you have German ancestors?

@@carlot7999 Somewhat German. Probably 25% maximum. The last name is my husband’s: who is nearly 75% German.

@@melissabautz2346 Dear Melissa, I‘m looking foreward to lots more pipe tutorials! Regards!

@@irfankarim5015 Hello. The book I use is from the National Piping Center in Glasgow Scotland. I am not authorized to copy it and send it to you. However, you can purchase it online. Here is the link: www.thebagpipeshop.co.uk/products/tutor-one-new-edition

Melissa youve been my "teacher" the past couple months. Thank you!

@@katystorts388I am so glad these videos are helpful! Keep on learning. 😊

Opener: Cha Til MacCrimmon, Reel before slow air: Kalabakan

Yes! Go for it. 😊👍

Thank you. I am the piper (as pipe major of our band) and the drummer is in our band and she takes snare lessons from Blair Brown

FIRST….pipers do not play songs, they play tunes, always tunes…..as in Tunes of Glory, an old movie that deserves watching. ( Calling them tunes risks getting hit by lightening or a flying haggis.) SECOND…..lovely lasses, excellent playing. Astonishing to this ancient piper that grade 4 has risen to this level of competence. Grade 4 in my day would now probably be classed as grade 47.

This 2/4 march is called “Carradale Bay”

Finely done! Outstanding TUNE and excellent execution. I’ve enjoyed and learned from watching your tutorials. I’m teaching a few students of various ages and abilities and have picked up some pointers from your videos. I’d love to chat with you sometime about how you started your band.

Hi John: sounds good. How about you email me at melissa@melissabautzbagpiping.com

Hi Frank: I’m about to post a guidance video for you about this topic. (I think I accidentally called you Franklin instead of Frank though!) 😬Sorry about that!

I’m glad that’s helpful! Thank you for leaving a comment.
