Bag pipes NYC Subway Music

[@1111amyg]

I've read so many comments telling her to slow down. Of course she can play slow, but it's more upbeat for the crowds when it's quicker. A slow bagpipe is often a very melancholy sound. Plus, playing fast showcases her finger skills. I like her. Well done.

[@lyndonanderson9771]

You actually know what it is Smart

[@ThatScottishVillager5]

its all fine and good to play fast but i noticed when she played cork hill she was missing notes because of the speed

[@adamwiggins9865]

You have no clue what you’re talking about… she is garbling her low hand in order to go faster. Clean grace notes are a crisper sound that crack off the chanter loudly. Her Throws, strikes and doublings sound terrible. And although you think the up beat tempo is appropriate, I a cleanly played tune with proper holds and cuts can sound very upbeat.. fast isn’t an excuse for sloppy playing. And I can tell she’s experienced enough to know all her peers who actually play pipes would say the same as me.

[@1111amyg]

@@adamwiggins9865 I'm sick of you overly critical pipers and your egos. Instead of ripping on her, how about acknowledging how much effort it took for her to be a professional piper? She's busking, not at a competition. It's for the love of music, remember that. She's sharing music with the general public, not her piping peers.

[@1zero8dragon]

Im so in awwhh of you willingness to play for anyone that will hear. you improve their lives.

[@brennanfoley3748]

I am a piper for the La Scots pipe band and you need to stop smiling and focus on the tunes, tune your drones, and slow the hell down

WOW your a piper so fucking what! you and millions of us are! That doesn't make you a A grade player does it? So what if she smiles she is busking and thanking people for the donations. So what if she is playing fast she isn't in a comp Where's your vid of you playing solo? maybe you need to stfu until you're a champion A grade solo player not relying on the mass of pipes to cover your mistakes that you make. and you don't pipe FOR a band you pipe WITH a band.

[@SantiagoBsAs]

Is she smiling at someone that looks or smiles at her, or is it just an automatic pattern "blow, smile, blow, smile" even if there's no one passing by?

[@sandsnowvancouver1]

Good efforts. Slowing down even a touch would allow the notes to form the tune. Allow the tune to do the work.

[@JR-bj3uf]

Yep, I would say "slow it down" but what to I know? This may be the way to generate cash in the underground.

Wheres the fire? Why is she in like fast forward mode? She sounds like a talented piper but she needs to slow it down...

right !!!

[@bluecollarcanuck]

Right. Highland regiment marching pace is only about 110 paces per minute. ;)

[@kjmcl1063]

Best thing about pipers, they are always willing to pick apart other pipers. She did well, stfu.

[@fergusjones6843]

Just mashing the notes. Slow them down and make them sound proper.

[@sniper48harrybo25]

this is the very first time i ever saw a female piper,, well done...

[@JesusIsKingAndSavior]

There are certainly health benefits to long tone drones on society as opposed to most public music(k).

[@johnlowe3759]

I think she was very good. I wish I could play half as good as her. For all the haters on here, how about posting some videos of you piping. It's real easy to sit behind a computer and be the expert on something you obviously don't know as much about as you think you do! Keep up the good work Mairi. :-)

[@dougd40a]

For God's sake... slow down... play ALL the notes... with correct fingering on the proper beats. Play music. Jeez.

[@johnscott841]

Just because you can play fast doesn't mean you can play well. A mash up of notes with no definition. And the smiling and dropping the blow stick is a bit creepy.

[@ivanvasiliev8710]

Kinda have to agree with that..

[@Backs4more]

Oh dear.

[@sye2393]

You should stop playing and take a breath

[@yorkshirestuz2023]

I’m not being funny but this was by far batter when you was playing slower,not taking anything away from your talent as you are keeping up the tradition of the old bagpipes 😘

too choppy..too fast..she needs to relax and let the pipes do the work...just trying too hard..

[@jimrose2631]

This is the most unnatural performance I have ever seen. Everything from the tempo, technique and even her clothes is whack, and that reptilian smile gives me chills. I would walk or take a taxi instead.

[@paulwallace4332]

This may amaze the Americans but to the learned Celtic ear this is commercialized dross!

[@The-Tech-Man]

Paul Wallace as an American learning the pipes, I am not amused. It's honestly waayyyyy to rushed causing it to be flat in my opinion.

[@jimrose2631]

A cheap attempt by a lazy person to score pin money, the fake smile adds insult to injury. My ancestors weep.

[@elgaitero1]

She must have had an important date to play through so fast and sloppy.....she was done with tunes before the second part.

[@didianderson2023]

switch to Irish pipes, so you can make use of that smile.

[@MM168NSX]

As a piper this makes me cringe..

[@ConsairtinFergus]

She plays way too fast and flat... Nothing wrong about playing fast as long as you keep the accents and rythm, and she doesn't.

[@nancyjones677]

I'm cringing now.

[@jacobtufts8526]

Omg atrocious and when she nods at people that made me cringe even more as a piper

[@susanesquer1520]

Brother Jacob , she could be nodding to the people who are putting money in her jar . (11 June 2018 1916 hours)

When she blows she looks very unnatural and uncomfortable or is that just me?

[@timschannel3419]

I'm a novice piper but I'm very careful to not let my cheeks puff out. If you start doing that you will never be able to fix it. It's definitely distracting to watch.

[@AAA-fh5kd]

the smiling is way too forced and screws up what could be circular breathing and better rythym. Odd she could just do that less and sound far less rushed

[@brando444]

You don't need to circular breathe when you're playing highland pipes...

[@johnlowe3759]

Why would circular breathing be necessary on the pipes genius? Also, please send me a link to one of your piping videos and show me how much better you are than her.

[@NPasch-fd1tj]

Kein Gefühl für die Pipes, kein Gefühl für den Tune. Das "Fingergezappel" macht die Melodie kaputt, viel zu schnell gespielt! Oder ist es das: Seht wie schnell mein Fingering ist---Geltungsbedürnis!? Was soll das dümmlich wirkende Grinsen? Noti Pasch seit 45 Jahren Piper

nice performance but it did not suits you

[@pipermcfarlane]

Absolutely no timing (or pointing/execution..) just playing as fast as she can..very unsteady tempo..no attention at all to the 'ornamentation' of the tunes.. looks like shes not even thinking about what shes playing..

[@jamiegibson7319]

pish

[@MaBlake]

She needs to stop the stupid smiling bit and focus more on her embellishments and tuning. I'm a beginner and I even know that much. Slow it down a bit. I love my pipes but please don't make me sorry I started playing. Augh!
