Saw this live, absolutely excellent show. And saw the 2011 live too, it gets better every year, I don't know how they do it, but they do. This is the third live show I've been to. Now I cannot wait for 2012.

Some regiments are allowed to wear a "feather bonnet" ("bonnet" means "hat") as part of their full military dress, on special occasions, which is a tall hat built on a tall wire basket covered with ostrich feathers. I am an American piper, I own this full military dress including the big feather bonnet.There is indeed a part of the feathers that hang down on the left side of the big hat.Everything about this art is both primitive yet complicated, and very emotional.

I'm of Hungarian decent but could never understand my love of the pipes. I actually helped my son's Royal Canadian Army Cadet corp start a Pipe and Drums band a few years back. Then I discovered that my heritage includes the pipes as well. Nothing like the Highland pipes though. I hope that someday my wife and I can visit Scotland and attend this awesome performance. Thanks for the post.

It depends enormously on how old you are and what fraction of the traditional art you want to learn. The melodies of these tunes are all very simple on a 1-octave instrument like pipes for a woodwind player to learn. Brass players? Yikes, any woodwind even cheap whistle is going to challenge you. But listen to the quick consonant sounds in this.You can't believe how complicated it is to make them. But if the sound inspires you, try for it, it's a thrill to have this sound around you.

@WPUpioneer The Black Watch is an old Scottish regiment formed originally to "watch" the highlands after the Jacobite uprising and clan fighting. Black comes from the very dark tartan, therefore named Black Watch. Now part of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

@rigamarrow13 жыл бұрын
originally the chevrons reflected the style of the cuffs. French line regiments had squared off cuffs so their NCVOs wor their rank insignia chevrons horizontally or points up. Light infatry had pointed cuffs, so chevrons were points up.
@WPUpioneer the up-side-down chevrons are appointment badges whereas the right-side-up ones are rank badges. Four stripes up-side-down means Pipe Major/Drum Major or Bugle Major and these people can be anything from Sergeant to Colour Sergeant or even Warrant Officer.

There exists another Black Watch, 3rd Battalion Royal Highland Regiment of Canada, since 1862, in 2012 we celebrate 150 years of service to the Crown and to Canada. We carry on the traditions set forth by The Imperial Black Watch, though they no longer carry the Royal Highland Regiment distiction, we carry on and are the last to wear the Blue Balmoral with red tourrie and red Hackle, Nemo Me Impune Lacessit.

Die Bagpipers sind etwas besonderes. Ich hatte das Glück, 1983 diese hervorragenden Jungs in Ramstein kennen zu lernen. Die haben so einen lustigen Abend mit mir verbracht, weil ich diesen Dudelsack spielen solte. Eine "Niederlage" für die deutsche Luftwaffe...hehehe...aber ein Abend in unserem Unteroffiziersheim ,den ich nie vergessen habe. Greets to all scots.

Sorry, the part that hangs down is on the right side. The left side has a tall colored rod or stack of different feathers that helps to identify the regiment or band of the piper.

@WPUpioneer the black watch isn't special forces per se, they are a part of the Royal Highland regiments in the British army. They were formed around the 1880s. Their name comes from their dark tartan and their original role to 'watch' the Highlands.

+sempergumby I think you have it mixed up there buddy, Americans wear their chevrons with the point up, where as the British, and former British colonies and such wear the chevrons with the point down. I'm not to sure why this is, but some explanations I have been given are that the Americans wanted to seem more masculine with the forces, and another was that they wanted to distinguish themselves from the English. but hey, I could be wrong about that last part.

Since the red coat was introduced by Parliament's New Model Army during the Civil War in the 1640s, and was chosen purely because of being the cheapest available dye and had no connotations with England or Britain at the time, you'd have to be a time-traveller from the 17th-19th centuries, and you'd have bigger problems!
