Thank you!

Yes, you eventually have to tune your drones to the chanter, but Karl is pointing out the BASICS of listening to the sound waves to teach you how to tune the drones to themselves. The second step is tuning the drones to the Low A on the chanter. I think Karl is doing a great job of teaching you how to listen to the pitch. The fine art of using your ear is being lost to the electronic tuner. Thank you Karl !

The 1st thing that came to mind when they were all tuned is one of those massive lights at the top gymnasiums. Very impressive similarities. That was also extremely satisfying.

[@Evanmonster1]

Easily the best video I have found for drone tuning. Thank you!

[@timjay8591]

This was really good! Thank you for making it simple to follow and understand.

[@pemacal57]

Very well explained...it helps me so much with my tunings...thanks so much, VIELEN DANKE!!!

[@somodizoltan]

thank you, great video with good quality sound. now I finally understand what I'm supposed to hear.

[@pemacal57]

Hello Karl, I've followed your thecnic tuning Drones and it is excellent! Vielen Danke !!!!

[@josemanuelcuervo-uria7743]

Thank you. Very instructive indeed.

[@philip6419]

VERY NICE, Karl! Understanding, that when it's "out-of-tune", we can hear... rolling 'Harmonics'. TUNING is bringing that 'rolling' sound into a smooth Blend.. by twisting and changing the distance between the parts.. until that sound STOPS rolling and becomes ONE sound. Thanks!

[@user-vz9yf7et1w]

Thank you that’s so clear

[@wforbach]

i have been told to "listen" but no one ever explained WHAT i am listening for and how to fix it. Thank you for the good video with good enough sound to hear the waves. Thank you !

[@michaelmiyashiro8362]

Awesome!

[@chrisdinnnc]

Have you made a video about tuning drones to the chanter? Also, how about a video transitioning from practice chanter to bagpipes for the first time for beginners. Thank you!

[@Pef273]

Thanks!

[@leandrogoncalves6586]

Thanks...Danke

[@tbwpiper189]

Very nice pipes! Full and rich sound. Which manufacturer?

[@Donnybrook10]

why take the chanter out? After all, you tune the drones to the chanter

[@summer.islander]

danke!

[@Flaaaaanders]

Nice pipes but he should tune drones to chanter or its sounds mcshitty

[@mmk4276]

Fingal idk why but I wheezed. Mcshitty lmao. That’s great

[@akiwifella946]

Thankyou

[@galax574]

Without the chanter, the tuning of drones is useless!

[@MrBrentgoodall]

true, but not the point of the video.

[@djpepper8814]

I've had my pipes for about a week, and I was as happy as a 🐷 in 💩 to find a video that focused on the drones

[@galax574]

@Maxwell Smart Then this is just a video showing what "in tune" and "out of tune" the drones are, and is NOT showing how to tune drones because the tuning of drones takes chanter as a reference.

[@MrBrentgoodall]

@@galax574 thanks for stating the obvious

[@PiperMcPhersonTheWren]

Love the hat. May I ask as to what kind of hat that is?

[@MichaelMyers33]

Balmoral!

[@michaelmiyashiro8362]

Do you really have to squeeze hard at first? Does it automatically tune when you do that.

[@kevinngo4751]

Instrument testing in the quiet room hopefully doesn't bothering trevor and also sending picture of the bottom

[@gawni1612]

as a rule of thumb you want your intro to be no longer than 15 seconds

[@brucenichols9153]

How do you know the drones are in tune with the chanter doing this? You don't Tune one tenor to the chanter, remove chanter and progress

[@swaralekh7174]

Sir how many cost of reed set? Indian

[@GeorgeCampbell1964]

I hear this gurgling sound in your start-up. What is the purpose of that?

[@jogomez1988a]

Could you tell us. What us the notes of the three drones?

[@sdwhitm]

They are all tuned to A. The tenor drones are tuned to A one octave below the chanter, and the bass drone is tuned to A two octaves below the low A on the chanter.

[@timtravasos2742]

Volume is too low in the video.

[@michaelmiyashiro8362]

So what your saying is you have to prep the fifes

[@AlxzAlec]

i have bamboo drones and they make no sound

[@michaelmiyashiro8362]

Sounds like our civil defense sirens.

[@michaelmiyashiro8362]

And play golf!

[@lohheidpipingschool1]

????

[@Cupspiracy]

Your blow a different pressure with the chanter in not great

[@shaunclark86]

Video is too quiet

[@michaelmiyashiro8362]

I want to where the outfit without playing the bagfifes.

[@nicolea2839]

I think the bagpipes put it all together

[@adamwiggins9865]

I think it’s just to give the viewer a sense of what they should listen for when bringing them in... I think a chanter video is in order before this tho... also all this pissing around with the plugs is getting under my skin... plugs are for pressure testing and cheaters

[@stephenfozard7467]

not helpful at all
