How do you know when to play a reel in the open style or not? Just by researching in piping community?

Piping instruction gold. I wish these videos would have been around when I was a beginner piper. ❤

Thanks

Thanks for this very helpful. Here have an algorithm boost.

Thanks Jim Great timing for me.I've just taken up MacKay from Skye.Your lesson is really helpful.

Fantastic Jim! Reel good!

Is it wrong to play it as written (cut)? Why did the composer die so young?

Thanks so much. This reed was driving me mad.

Another wonderful video! Jim, would you consider doing a tutorial on The Hag at the Churn? Your solo set on The Megantic Outlaw is one of the best I've ever heard and as a young piper it made me fall even more in love with the pipes and piping. Thanks for years of inspiration!!

thx Jim, just what i needed here :)

I really appreciate what you have provided. Very clear and useful.

Thanks for doing this. Man of your word. Very helpful

Why have you gone with an eze drone on the inner?? Superb drone sound all the same.

I am fortunate enough to have purchased this set from Jim about a month ago. The pipes are astounding. With a set of Balance Tone drone reeds, as well as a Naill Blackwood chanter with a McPhee chanter reed, this set of pipes is absolutely amazing. Thank you for this offering, Jim.

I'm exceptionally fortunate to have gotten this set. They are spectacular. Thank you Jim and Matt. Steadiest and most seamless drone/chanter blend I have ever experienced. 100/100!

Wow. Amazing pipes.

Very nice information. I’ve subscribed and will share this channel with my band mates.

Lovely sound. Who was the chanter maker? Thank you.

Thanks always interesting and an education.

What pipes are those? I haven’t seen beading that deeply cut on modern pipes, only on older Starcks.

back in the seventies "open" meant open for anyone, but there was also a professional class with an substantial entry fee for the pros. I found that professional pipers ridicule a piper who doesn't have standing and enters the open. To determine a playing level, a new class has been developed called adult. It is wise to enter as an adult if not ranked. You get great feedback and can help in determining a level if you so desire.

As a new piper I cannot express how important your lessons are to me Mr. McGillivray. Thank you for what you do!

Great tune and very well played. I know that this tune is always followed by another traditional 6/8 tune but I can't seem to find it. Do you have any idea?

Great detail thanks.

Thanks very much, best instruction ever, tell/show/do.

Thank you for this tune, Jim! This is a great way for me to learn classic tunes.

This is is helpful!! thanks Jimbo

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know why Matt chose to go with two different tenor reeds? I know it's not completely unheard of, but I was intrigued. They sound lovely, to say the least.

Why the mixed tenor reeds? I've always played matched tenors and a different bass. Just curious...thanks!

Hi Jim, Any chance of examining a set of older Lawrie's and/or Henderson's down the road? Thanks Jim for the info and thanks Matt for playing them.

The man from Skye lived not two miles away from me, and he was one of, if not the best, piper I've ever heard. He had great stories to tell about his piping days.

It would be cool to hear a Donald MacDonald setting Piobaireachd played on this set!

Weren’t earlier Robertson projecting mounts much less ‘mushroom’ shaped?

What’s the most air efficient + best sounding synthetic reed on the market in your opinion?

Hey Mr. McGillivray, I am a huge fan of your books and a student of Mr. John Bottomley. Could you do a video on triplings/hornpipe shakes?

Awesome got it now..good tuition clip!

Thanks Jim! I really appreciate this video and learning how to tune without the braw tuner and relying on your own ear

Thank you Jim

wow, love the tune! Can't stop playing it

This has always been one of my favorite 6/8's!

The first four part strathspey I learned in my piping journey. Well done!

Pretty damn tricky tune for a 6 x 8.

Lovely...

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, Jim.

Loved this tune especially the E with a strke in the third part and the last line of the fourth part. On the pipes it took an almost bell like sound to me. Donald Grant.

Love your tutorials! Thank you! 3rd year piper!

some of the greatest tunes named after women

Masterful!
