The Bagpipe
63 Pages - By Pipe Major Bill Cleary
This is a very complete tutorial for the beginning Piper or
Practice Chanter Player. It starts with a history of the Pipes, then goes into general
instructions such as tuning the pipes, conditioning the bag to keep it airtight, etc. It
then introduces you to basic note reading, proper fingering and ornamentation. Following
this is a selection of forty-six Scottish and Irish tunes.
This is a very good first book for someone that is serious about learning the
Pipes and/or Practice Chanter.
Be sure to take a look at our Cocus wood and Sheesham wood Practice Chanters also!
