    I'm from Scotland where bagpipes is a traditional instrument and what this young woman has said is TRUE. You do NOT need your mouth constantly on the mouth piece, the air is in the bag and you use your arm to squeeze the air out as you play the notes. Once the bag starts to deflate that is when you put your mouth back on the mouth piece to fill the bag back up, the air doesn't come out of the mouthpiece it stays in the bag. I think your doing an amazing job at playing the bagpipes and it warms my heart to see someone of your age taking up the bagpipes, which isn't an easy instrument to learn and play. You play it beautifully, don't let these people bother you when they know nothing of the instrument. Keep up the good work, your amazing

    This reminds me of last Memorial day when a friend of mine thought the guy on TV playing Taps on the trumpet was faking it because he didn't move his fingers when the notes changed. He had no idea Taps was a bugle call and there was no need to change your finger position. Some people just want to talk about stuff they know nothing about. In your case I'm sure it's just jealousy.

He was telling someone, correctly, that you do not play a bugle like a trumpet. So while your comment adds to the discussion, you are actually not arguing but obfuscating, if this was an actual debate over something that mattered, but it's not, and it doesn't, so anyway ...

    Simply said: the "Breathing" is done with the arm around the bagpipe, the lungs are just a "pump" to inflate that bag. There's quite a lot of reserve capacity in that bag. Depending on the drones, and the chanter there is only so much air being used. A good pair of lungs can be able to provide more air than needed, so there is no need to continuously put air in the bag, too much air in the bag also makes it more difficult to regulate the air out to the drones/chanter (I was told)

    Piper’s points about how faking everything she’s done requires learning how to hold the bagpipes as if she is playing them, and learning musical theory and composition to the point of being able to compose unique bagpipe covers, are especially iconic to me. If we humor the idea that she is faking it, she may as well just learn the instrument at that point. To go to all that trouble to learn so much only to stop at learning how to use the mouthpiece?

    Please don't be distressed by one or even a few ignoramuses who don't understand how your instrument works. Your many fans and followers understand, and appreciate your skills and talent.

    I think you're great and wonderful and just keep on going. I love the bagpipes and I'm 65 and I just started working on the chanter. I started on the tin whistle now I'm on the chanter and I hope in about 6 months I will be on small pipes. And I don't know when I will be ready for the great highland pipes but I watching all these wonderful teachers I now have on the internet Matt Willis is wonderful and so is another guy get ready for bagpipes and maybe to prove your talent one of the highest callings is maybe you could do some teaching videos then they'll all have to believe you

    I know you’re not faking it because I’ve known five people who are my family who played bagpipes. But I love how you’re roasting the people who think that you were. you’re one of the best that I know and I love what you do not because you play it better than other people. But I can see that you love what you do. I do thoroughly enjoy listening to you. Keep it up live your best life.

    Absolutely incredible how envy is throwed so freely, with misogyny at that, by those that feel insecure and thus "have" ro bring others down to feel less shitty.
    Disgusting behavior.
    My guess is this is a red pill thing too.
    You are awesome, Ally! Thank you for your art, courage and dedication! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    tbh I litterally thought the same thing, when I first saw a Video of you playing. But then I used my brain and I just realized that this is a bagpipe and it might work a little bit different than the instruments I am familiar with. Loved to hear some part of your songs from time to time

    Hi Ally
    A comment for everybody else out there as well.. I am a bagpiper of several decades standing and have been taught by some of the worlds best ever pipers (not that that makes me any great shakes!). Ally has a great technique and expertise that allows her to express both traditional and new generation bagpipe music to an accomplished degree. Any comments regarding breathing technique are completely invalid. Hope this sheds some light on the matter.
    Alba gu brath. Good will to everyone out there.

    I wouldnt be presumptuous enough to make a request as I respect your own creative choices and aesthetic. Maybe it’s just too much on the nose.

    This makes me think of Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson`s response to the moon launch being faked. Short version is that it would have cost so much time effort and money to fake all the things that people actually witnessed that it would have been easier and cheaper to just go to the moon.
