    I'm American, and I love to listen to these musicians play. The bagpipes are the hardest instrument to play. These people start playing from small children to adults, which is wonderful. When I need an uplift, I come here and watch these Bagpipe UA-cam videos.

    When its your first time in Scotland you're not prepared how Edinburgh blows you away, driving through the little villages stunning. In the city. OMG just beautiful.

Awe the mascot just gorgeous, those bagpipes get me everytime... amazing.

    • @MacTaorluath
      @MacTaorluath 2 роки тому +2

      Pipe bands come in all different sizes. There is something for everyone. Piping takes a lot of effort and is a huge time commitment, but learning how to play them is worth both the effort and the time. High level competition bands have become larger over the years, in order to produce the sound that they want. It is an enormous feat for them to be able to sound like one large bagpipe. The notes and embellishments must be executed at exactly the same time through a set of several tunes. It is a capricious instrument that requires constant maintenance, but is so rewarding to be able to play. You and Robert do have a point, though. The number of pipe bands and Highland Games have dwindled over the years, at least where I live. The piping community is a dedicated one, though, so while it might be going through a lean period, I doubt that its light will be extinguished.
      This is a lovely video!
