- Chris Pinchbeck makes and plays Scottish small-pipes. He crafts his pipes from scratch, meticulously grinding, sawing, and drilling to get just the right notes. A variation of the Great Highland bagpipes, the small-pipes pack a big sound and can bellow out a toe-tapping rhythm.

Affirm. Very few things bring me to tears. The beautiful sounds of bagpipes are one of few such things.
My bagpipe playing brings people to tears--usually preceded by please,please, STOP!
It's basically a Smaller lower pitched version of the Great Highland Bagpipe & it has a Cylindrical Chanter so it speaks an octave lower
beautiful! I love the sound of the bagpipe!
Those.sound gorgeous
Unexpectedly soothing
Awesome.
Nicely informative video! The guy's passionate about his job and that's just great! I bet he's happy! :-) They do blend with other instruments.
They're really not a variation of the Great Highland Bagpipes - the bore of the chanter is completely different, which is why it's an octave lower in pitch for the same chanter length and has its mellower sound. It is true, a lot of smallpipe players play a Highland Bagpipe repertoire on it, and the modern version reinvented by Colin Ross has the GHB scale, but historically, there were several chanter forms. The Montgomery smallpipes from 1747 has a major scale in E, rather than mixolydian in A or Bb, for example.
The GHB scale is the Mixolydian Scale.
@@RockStarOscarStern634 So is the chanter of nearly every Scottish smallpipe chanter I’ve played or heard, the exception being the reproductions of the Montgomery smallpipe (flat 7 on bottom, sharp 7 on top).
I was looking at some Fred Morrison pipes, but these are nice. I may have take a look at this one.
I'd sign up to be his apprentice any day and time
I love this tune.Where can I buy it ?
Interesting video, love visiting Edinburgh and listening to the bagpipers as you walk around the castle.

Hi? :)
these are the quiet subtle tones of the sort of bagpipes i would want to play...the larger and more shrill versions are fine if outdoors and the piper is a master musician...otherwise it would be impossible to practice without secluding yourself in a soundproof room...
Practice chanter is for practice and I play GHBs in my living room with no complaints from neighbors
USA Kilts tells us the GHB goes about 90-92 dB. Not impossible.
I tend to find largish open places... football fields, parks, or climb in the car and park at a highway interchange (cloverleaf) if nothing else avails. It's true, Americans really do do everything in their cars!
Yep. Good stuff. Mine are Sloan. I found this clip to be well done, and hope you have a good market. Regardless, anything like this helps the craft. Thank you for this
Sounds like something produced by an Atari or Commodore 64 soundchip. Absolutely fascinating.
Beautiful video. I don;t think I ever realized there were pipes that were bladder blown, or hadn't seen them in action. Was watching other wonderful video of The Bruce 700
BROSNACHADH and found you on the side suggestions.
lisa8220 bagpipes that use a bellows are actually of an irish origin ,true scottish small pipes use a mouth blowpipe :)
@@allahuchocolatebar7959 Nope, the Irish, like the Scots, adopted the bellows from the continent. Bellows-blown pipes probably originated in France, but have been played in Britain for nearly 300 years. The transition between mouth- and bellows-blown happened in the mid 18th century.
Nice video
Who could have possibly given this a thumbs down?
they would be best described as the bipedal personification of an equine alpha sphincter ...but that's just me being nice
NICE CLIP. WONDERING IF WE CAN USE YOUR CLIP ON OUR SITE FOR AN EDUCATION OF NEW BEGINNERS AND STUDENTS. PLEASE REPLY AND CONFIRM IF YOU ALLOW YOUR PERMISSION. THANKS
Hello
Aren't these "Uillean Pipes"!?!?
no
No, the Uilleann pipes from Ireland have a very different configuration and sound. The SSPs are more akin to older versions of the Northumbrian Pipes.
Interesting I would have thought they were uillean pipes or otherwise known as the Galway pipes mind you there are also the war pipes in Ireland 🇮🇪 but there are other countries other than Ireland and Scotland that have bagpipes parts of northern Portugal hungry even have there own pipes
Uilleann is Gaelic for elbow, so any bellows blown pipes could be described this way.
@@bigjohn697791 Just about every country in Europe and the Middle East has their own version of the bagpipe.
