Anyone of you playing pipes ?

So is anyone here into bagpipes ? There must be pipers in the playground. Confess it !

I absolutely love bagpipes, but don't play them. I wouldn't mind buying a set, but I'm guessing they cost way more than I could afford.

Me myself is playing a german kind of pipes but french style. French fingering (french half clossed) anf mostly french repertoire (dance music). The pipes are in G/C with Drones in g g'. I can play G and C in booth major and minor.

This is a beta version a (quite popular) tune me and my band are playing

Yeah...I didn't understand that entire first paragraph above. :smallredface: I've played clarinet, bass clarinet, baritone sax, snare drum, and bass, but have no idea how the bagpipes are played, beyond a vague basic understanding of how the air flow works. I can't listen to it now cause my roommates are watching tv, but later I'll hear it.
