Sounds great. I think this particular variety of bagpipe is still comparatively little known.

[@timeastwoodbagpiper]

@@dbadagna I agree, it's not as well known. But I tend to find little is known among the wider public, most only know of the highland bagpipes, some ask if they are Irish or Northumbrian. So these are related to both. I find most people are astonished that there are other British bagpipes let alone bagpipes and related instruments originating from all over Europe, North Africa, Middle East and the Indus regions. And apparently from East Asia having a quick look at your videos!

Lovely! I assume it's an old church you're playing in? Love the acoustics!

[@timeastwoodbagpiper]

Yes it's a mediaeval chapel. Thanks!

This should be a King Charles funeral piece..."Fairwell, ye bag of shite." Perfection!

[@paulcannell7188]

Beautiful. and I thought the Welsh were allergic to bagpipes. I have a passage in an old book where 2 Welsh Bard/Harpists fairly disparage an English Bagpiper at a border wedding. I defy any Harper not to find your pipes beautifully sounding.

[@timeastwoodbagpiper]

@@paulcannell7188 there were definitely always pipes in Wales up to the 18th and possibly well into the 19th C, there are first hand accounts I've seen in about 1800 of pipes mentioned as is its still very normal. I find that harps and pipes go together very well.

[@paulcannell7188]

@@timeastwoodbagpiper I totally agree. I will find that passage I referenced and type it into your comments. Your pipes sound absolutely beautiful. I am a fan of harp music and a player of Highland Ceol Mor, which i believe to have evolved from Bardic Classarch Structures.
