I admire your style and the way you play! Your videos (practise chanter ones and GHPs) are of so much help for my piping efforts. Thanks a lot agai, Neil ! Warm regards from Cologne

[@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping]

Thanks Karl, appreciated. Glad you can use the vids

[@johndowling9379]

I was in the Carrigaline Pipe Band for a short time as a lad, the first tune i learned to play was Donald Dhu. I never got past the chanter, I still play that great pibroch, seventy five years. On various instruments. Regrettably I never got back to playing The War pipes. Altho I do play it on The Feadog. I love this set, and this players great playlng. Thank you.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@billaugsburger927]

Who in the world gives a thumbs down to this performance? Weird... Anyways...great job!

[@__seeker__]

I am grateful for your skill and its subsequent translation into how wonderful listening to this made me feel. Most sincere thanks. Cheers.

[@MaBlake]

4 years into it and playing with the band the last two. I still love this set you play. The harmonics in that room you recorded must have been great. I’m one of Eric Albert’s students. I listen to this video regularly. Bravo again!

[@Kingtrollface259]

Stick with it ,you will only get better

[@sonerbihan]

Top notch, fine tuning and balance, very nice swing these are very fine pipes very finely played, Neil Cheers !

[@sonerbihan]

You well deserve it, Neil All the best tae ye, fella

[@graemeselkirk]

I just uploaded this tune myself. You're version has given me something to aspire to Neil.

[@pemacal57]

I love your skill....but your perfection is the Drone's sound

[@HIGHLAND_BAGPIPES_INDIA]

I enjoy all of your videos and I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is great Neil. I look forward to learning this with you.

Beautiful melody!

[@jcs6347]

Hi, got a question; was the farewell to the Creeks referring to the Creek Indians in north America? Or to the creeks and licks in the home country? Thanks

[@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping]

It refers to an area in Aberdeenshire.

[@luke46219]

Neil, sorry I just now saw the request for donations to Parkinson's UK after watching probably 50 of your videos. I don't normally read the descriptions to videos so never noticed it before. $1 request happily honored.

[@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping]

Luke, thats very generous of you. Thanks very much indeed.

[@daryllynch8858]

Very nice tone and playing neil pipes going well. Keep it up!!

Does anyone know where I can find the music for piobaireachd of donald dubh?

[@stansmith4054]

What brand of chanter reed are you using? I like the timbre of it.

[@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping]

Thanks. This is going back a bit now, but I think it would either have been a reed by Andrew Frater, or possibly Donald Macphee

[@stansmith4054]

@@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping Thank you, sir!

[@stansmith4054]

@@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping What are your thoughts on the Clanyre synthetic reeds for chanter?

[@TomT125]

Enjoyed that. sounds good and well played at nice tempo

[@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping]

Thanks Mr T

[@francescodurbano5987]

Well done! Could you give me some information about your instrument? (maker, price...) Thank you so much.

[@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping]

Hi, These are Peter Hendersons by RG Hardie in Glasgow. I think the chanter at that time would have been by Brian Donaldson, the tenor reeds by Canning, and I'm not sure of the rest. Bannatyne Hide/Hybrid I would think. Not sure what the price would be for those.

[@francescodurbano5987]

Honestly, no. I should be though, and I'd recommend everyone else does

Is Glendaruel Highlanders an 'actual tune' or is it based on a song?

[@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping]

It's a tune. The song, Campbelltown Loch, was composed later. Like Scottish Soldier and Green Hill of Tyrol I suppose

[@S24W2]

+Neil Clark very good thanks for reply and thanks for all your videos.

Wonderfull😍❤❤❤

[@MaBlake]

I've learned so much from your style of playing and videos. I play your bagpipe tunes all the time on my blue tooth just to hear you play. I'm a year into my playing and I've done a little competition with a 4/4 march. Muir of Orde. I restarted, but was happy with what I did for the first time. I'm trying to set aside money to get some skype lessons in with you once I've broken in my new reeds. I blew out my first one now I'm breaking in two new ones for my band and competition chanter. I have a set of Colin Kyo Highlands that are lovely, perhaps someday I can do them justice. Thanks again!

[@NeilClark-FalkirkPiping]

Thanks very much, be great to have you on board. Glad the vids are of use.
