Hi there, great to know the existence of this group. Just bought a practice chanter myself. It's hard work, I found out. Trying not to rush it, but really eager to move on. Anyhow, bagpipes and fire department is a rare combination here in Holland. You're really lucky over there. Salut

Hey Bill , the best advice I can give you is don't rush through the lessons. I know we all want to get this going and get on to the next lesson but take your time. A good foundation of clean fingerwork and muscle memory will keep you on the path of success. Watch those crossing notes from E to D, Pipe out!

I am a vollie out of Vermont. I just got my Chanter a few days ago and I am trying to learn it. I think for three days I am doing pretty well. If anyone has any tips or advice I would appreciate it.

Hey John!

You're right! No time like the present to break out that chanter and learn it.

It will help if you get yourself a good teacher, like I did. Maybe if I compliment him enough here, he won't figure out that I haven't practiced this week. LOL

Love the pipes! Bought a chanter years ago. Now that I've found this group, I think I'll go look for it and dust it off!

Gigahertz checking in...

I'm a Vollie out of Rickreall, Oregon and a beginning piper. In fact, my instructor is starting to think I am beginning to get on his nerves! I can't say too much about my instructor, he's already on the board here!


Stay safe!
