They’re also meant for hiltops, not small rooms. Cant get the right reverb with all that echo.
they’re also meant to make you fight the english. don’t forget that part.
My fav bagpipe player was a dude who would go out to the middle of a soccer field near my college apartment on Sunday. No one was using the field and he’d just be out there playing his heart out and the sound were just spread out over the plains. I’d be working on art for class so I’d open the window and listen.
I still have fond memories of the day a kid biked up to the edge of the field, ran over to the bagpiper and the music stopped for a moment and as they talked. I couldn’t hear it but I had assumed the worst, that someone had decided to tell him to stop playing. Instead after the pause the musician seemed to nod, readjusted his bagpipes and started belting out the Star Wars theme.
Holyshit that is the most interesting thing I’ve heard in awhile
Holy shit yes
I would also like to offer this because this artist is really cool and if you’ve never known the joy of a Celtic/Punjabi mix, you’re missing out.
Also consider anything by Delhi 2 Dublin
An equally fascinating performance on bagpipes is The Bad Piper, playing the AC/DC classic Thunderstruck
Listen, bagpipes can do dainty! You just need to go with lap pipes… totally different tone!
