Thanks, I believe at that time I was playing a polypenco McCallum with a Chesney reed.

@@SPRBagpiper thanks for that

My pleasure, Andrew. Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you again, I am glad you enjoyed the tunes.

I appreciate the encouragement; I can use all the help I can get.

Thank you, you are very kind.

What an interesting way of phrasing things. I am a fan of David Lindsey's practice chanters, as well as of David, himself. Lindsey Bagpipes Co. has a Facebook page where he displays photos of the processes he has undergone to create some beautiful pieces.

I came up with that one by ear and have not yet put it to paper, so for now the recording is the best guide I can recommend. If I ever put it to paper, the occasion will almost certainly be marked on my Facebook page: facebook.com/sprbagpiper/.

I am glad you enjoyed it! The tune, and many other lovely pieces, can be found in Scots Guards Volume 2. The Scots Guards series consists of three volumes, each with several hundred tunes for bagpipe, some written by Scottish Fiddle player J. Scott Skinner, and they can usually be found for sale online for between $30-$70 depending on whether they're new or second-hand. You may already know this, but music for the Scottish Bagpipe is written in a range that quite suits the violin, primarily making use of the D, A, and E strings for melody, which Scottish Fiddle players then use to their advantage toward the end of droning and other self-harmonizing. The volumes can be used as sources of material for violin, provided... 1. You are able to maintain melody lines while either ignoring or appropriately adapting and incorporating the grace notes and embellishments (I would recommend reaching out to a Scottish Fiddle player, such as Dr. Melinda Crawford (youtube.com/@Strathmon), for more specific guidance on that subject), and 2. You remember that tunes written for the Scottish Bagpipe often do not include key signatures in the sheet music because, being a diatonic instrument, it is understood that C and F are always C# and F# unless otherwise explicitly specified; tunes are assumed to be written in D Major, or any of its relative modes, whether or not the sharps are indicated.

@@SPRBagpiper Thank you so much for your time, information, I'm a very late beginner. but it's a new lease of life for me. I will take on board all your suggestions, I just love the scottish music.Thank you again.☘☘☘

Hi Charlie, I am glad you enjoyed it. I adapted the tune back to the pipes by ear while learning it from a fiddle player who had taken some artistic licenses with their own arrangement. Only afterward, when I discovered that it is one of Gordon Duncan's, did I find that I was apparently following in something of a tradition with the tune: the original was only published as having 2 parts, and the opinion of some is that Gordon improvised parts 3 and 4 in performance, with subsequent printed versions being transcriptions of his performance recordings. I know that a version of it may be found in the book "Gordon Duncan's Tunes," but I am not aware of this particular setting having yet been put to paper.

​@SPRBagpiper thank you for the response, will follow this up, pity about the final two measures not being put to paper as that final measure is awesome. Cheers.

The reel version is set in gordon Duncan’s first book

Thanks for saying so, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for letting me know, and congratulations!

"At the end of 7 years, one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge..." XD better nate than lever. There's a tune with your name on it in this one: ua-cam.com/video/RHXRfy-eHIQ/v-deo.html

That depends on what you wish to learn. I will be happy to read more if you send a message via my website.

Send me a message via my website, and I will send you a copy.

@@王联想 Hi Wang, nice to hear from you! I hope you are well.

Hello Xx Xx, I have not had a moment to produce them, but if you send a message via my website, asking about them, I will put you on the list for when/if I do!

Thank you, Jim. You are very kind.

You are very kind. In this video I am playing a Bannatyne Hybrid bag with Dri-flo system, Crisler blowpipe, and Gibson split stock. The pipes are Robertsons with Wygent drone reeds.

That's very kind, thank you. I find a couple of embellishments at the start can scare my fingers into straightening up and flying (mostly) right. The set in this video are Robertsons with Wygent reeds, a Crisler blowpipe, Gibson split stock, an extended small Bannatyne Hybrid bottom-zip bag with a Bannatyne Dri-Flo system, and a blackwood McCallum band-style chanter with a McPhee reed.

Thank you, Jim. ...though, I also enjoy opening up the throttle every now and then!
