Yes mate [serious]

but not for a long long time


Brilliant instrument to play but very difficult

You'll need lots of wind and puff but that shouldn't be too difficult for you

Had a go at learning years ago ( Grew up in Oban ) had to learn the chanter first, long wooden recorder with a reed fitted, harder to blow than a breathalyser bag! Gave up. Wish you all success. Dont burst too many blood vessels trying:eek:

It's all about :-

a] Getting enough wind into the bloody thing to kick start it

b] Keeping the wind level even [stable]

Otherwise it sounds like a fecking stuffed pig [you could ask Buzz!!!]

Gave up after a few weeks and took up "Advanced Empathy Skills" which, for me, was a dam sight easier

It's a fascinating instrument to play but the neighbours [and family] will just luuuuuuuurve you LOL

Best bet is to see if there is a pipe band locally and go along and try - bet there always looking for "new blood"

That way you can try without it costing you anything

btw - if you get into the band you HAVE to wear a kilt [which was the real reason I joined in the first place :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ]

When did you grow up in Oban??? Was brought up myself in Taynuilt.

I remember trying the chanter, god bloody hard. I stuck to the penny whistle in the end. Used to play very well, but haven't played for years.
