Bagpipe tune info


What is your favorite Bagpipe tune?

My personal favorites are Pio Braireachd, My Home in the Hills, and Amazing Grace.

I also like the modern tune Highland Cathedral.

Also, what is your favorite sounding pipes (e.g. Great Highland or Uilleann pipes)?

I prefer the Great Highland pipes.

Don't know much about bagpipes, but I like 'Scotland the brave'

The great highland pipes, of course.

I love "When the Pipers Play," "Flowers of the Forest," "Scotland the Brave,"and "Amazing Grace."

Actually, I can spend the entire day listening to any of "The Tunes of Glory," being played on the pipes.

How could anyone not like Amazing Grace on the pipes? Two of my other favorites would be Scotland the Brave and Sgt. McKenzie.

I am not a big fan of Sgt MacKenzie at the moment... It's giving me fits whenever I practice it.

How do you know when a bagpipe requires retuning?

That kinda depends on which of the drones or the chanter has a bad reed...

The short answer is that you can just tell - the sound is just off.

But it's a difficult instrument - frustrating me at the moment...

Amazing Grace. Played by a lone piper, it is absolutly fantastic.
