Bagpipe Tricks and Tips #8 Taping a Chanter

[@jel517]

Allright Richard , first off love love love the 4th of July comments and attire. Thank You for the chuckles with the circuit breakers, I like watching videos with people who use a little humor in their videos, as opposed to droning on before the meat of the video. I will be subscibing. Be safe

Thank you very much for the positive comments. I need to crank out a few more of these.

Good stuff Richard. I never thought to use the tape itself to remove the sticky. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. Also appreciate the note about electrical safety, but you're confusing voltage with frequency. The US electrical grid is 60 Hz. Very small compared to the 480 Hz or so for a chanter so it's definitely smart to shut off the breaker.

The tape trick works pretty well, and I agree with safety being priority number one. Imagine finding your friend dead half way through changing some electrical tape.

That tape you are using is not the best, it tends to slide and leaves a sticky mess behind. Gaffer tape is way better and leaves no residue. You do have to cut it from a bigger roll though !
