Mastering Hemp Adjustment on the Bagpipe with Jim McGillivray

[@pemacal57]

Hello and good morning. I am a fan follower of your channel. Well, the thing is I am a sincere lover of bagpipes ( GHB and Galician bagpipes). I am a humble amateur and I started by myself 6 years ago( only watching video tutorials with practice Chanter). At present I have a McCallum AB3 with two Chanters McCallum wooden Gandy and McC2 SOLO poly….and despite my short and poor skill I am very happy. But I am writing you to tell you THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR EXCELLENT LESSONS, you are helping a lot of probably lost beginners to understand the amazing word of bagpipes. Thanks very much indeed and best wishes.

Hey Jim... about joints & hemp adjustments... I have always used white waxed nylon dental floss (Johnson & Johnson brand..) for re-tightening joints after the waxed hemp compresses, as it always does.

What pipes are those? I haven’t seen beading that deeply cut on modern pipes, only on older Starcks.

I believe I was using a set of Donald MacDonald pipes that I had in the house.
