- Should your bagpipes be a struggle to play? If you look around you, you may think "Yes, a bagpipe SHOULD be hard to play if you're doing it right." But, that couldn't be further from the truth. Instead, let's look at the first and most important step in cranking up your bagpipes' EASY score.

The Piper's Dojo is one of the USA's most relevant bagpipe supply companies, and also operates "Dojo University," the world's first online piping school. The Dojo engages thousands of retail and educational customers around the globe, by harnessing the power of the internet to help connect those in the world who share a specific passion; enriching one's life through bagpipes.
The #PipersDojoTV Show is Andrew's (the owner of the Dojo) way of providing as much value as possible to the bagpipe world by sharing knowledge, taking your questions, interviewing pipers at all stages of development, and just generally talking bagpipes with the e-world. We hope you'll subscribe and join us on our mission to help the world play this great instrument as a true extension of their Selves.
Andrew is also a prolific "real world" teacher and bagpipe performer. You can watch several of his performances and workshops on this channel.

Very nice video. Btw, does the bag quality (sheepskin, hide bag, goretex, synthetic) affect on the final sound ? i've got a canomore Hybrid Bag with a zip, completely air tight, and blowing steadily, and still not able to reproduce that sound you produce with your pipe.
Hello Andrew, thanks for your posts and breaking things down. Very frustrated with blowing,transitioning etc. appreciate the air tightness you get with your bag. For a newbie can you demonstrate the airtightness with a “Synthetic bag”
Andrew, I've been watching your Blogs since last season and have enjoyed the episodes. I'm not even a Piper but always like to see how the leading Pipers practice/guide/instruct/play their bagpipes.
Congratulations on the Worlds...I was pulling for IDPB. You guys absolutely killed it in the competition. I've listened/watched many of the performances at the Worlds repeatedly (UA-cam and BBC.co). I don't play the bagpipes but really like to listen to the instrument when it's played well.
My question to you is this. I am intensely trying to learn to play the Scottish snare drum. Is there the equivalent of the Piper's Dojo with a great Host/Instructor like you, for the Scottish snare enthusiast??? I have many questions and would really like to see/hear about the instrument from leading drummers.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work on the bagpipes. I'll continue to watch the Pipers Dojo. Thanks.
Andrew, I love the channels.
I have seen a lot of videos about testing the bag for air tightness, but have not seen you approach what to do, if you find there IS a small leak.
Any links?
I have the standard Canmore Gore-Tex bag. Feels like I don’t have the stamina I used to. I’ve had my Shepherd pipes for 18 years and it’s the original bag. Might have a leak maybe, if so I might try a zipper bag.
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS PUPPY YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT AND I CANT SEE IT
What is the tune you are playing when you ask if it looks easy? I can't think of it for the life of me and its really bothering me. Lol
