- This is a great step forward for bagpipe innovation, and the ability to play them the way I have for the past two years! I can't wait for other pipers to get these and show off their skills on social media as well.

Nice tutorial. You are becoming a natural presenter.
You singing the notes really helped explain the note spacing.
I have no musical talents/skills, but have always enjoyed the bagpipes. I just learned more about the bagpipe in 9 minutes than I have in 47 years. Bagpipe blown! LOL Thank you for this Ally, great stuff!!
I'll second that.
I Third it.
(and I included you in my comments too)
Nice
I love listening to my fellow musicians talk about what they're passionate about. Thank you for this.
A lot of bands have been using a concert A chanter, and just cap the drones. Glad to see this concert B option that will work with standard drones.
Thank you, I learned something today!!! My Grandfather's name was MacGinnis so the pipes have always touched my heart!
Not a musician, but this explains a lot of what I’ve listened to and why! Thanx!
A nerd video... sweet... Thanks for all the details, Ally. Looking forward to see more of those.
I play mainly string instruments, but I honestly enjoy watching these bagpipe videos from you, and find it very interesting.
Thank you, and well done. I'm a fan of older pipes and b-flat chanters. I have an a-440 chanter in cocobolo and have developed a way to match modern drone reeds to any pitch a-440 to 476hz, or modern band pitch. Chanter is available to the right player free of charge. Cheers!
I have my very first chanter from the late 1960’s, it is a Lowre chanter and will tune to a a=440 and will play with my church organ without any issues. Nothing special except I need to flatten the drones down quite a bit. Remember back then all chanters were wooden and somewhat fragile…. That is 50 years of changes in pitch, that chanter may have been made in the late 1940’s or early 50’s but with Highland Cathedral, sounds so sweet. Be thankful the drones are not bamboo and a royal pain to tune in….. Todays drone reeds are so fantastic and with flow restriction makes life easier for us old guys!!!!😅
You are absolutely amazing, Ally. You are so knowledgeable and you play so beautifully. Thank you for explaining and demonstrating all about the different chanters.
I learned so much. Thanks again!
Been playing bagpipes for almost ten years now and still learning. You’r channel is a great resource. I love how you explain everything. Keep up the good work.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁✌️👌🇺🇸
Thank you Ally! This is great news. I appreciate the way you broke it down as well. Another long form could be going into the scales more “mixolydian” vs others as it relates to the pipes. Would also love to hear the same song played with the different chanters.
Thanks for your
Banter on the Chanter.
I found this really interesting being of Scottish nature I hear bagpipes all the time so Thank you
i'm sure you mean Scottish Origin!
@@dr4gon166 yes I’m from edinburgh 🙈
Great video! You answered all the questions I had, especially regarding the drones. 🙂👍
What I liked most though, was your enthusiasm, and the sheer joy in music you radiated! It really brings a smile to your face, and makes the world a little better! 🧠 (I can't find a suitable emoji, but imagine this is a happy brain!)
Thank u for explaining how bagpipes work I'm from New Zealand and it's amazing to see a beautiful check playing all my favourite tunes so thankful 🎉Ally .x
it takes real talent to make it all sound so easy! you do a great job of explaining all this.
Your knowledge is impressive, young padwan. All kidding aside, we need more videos like this. Thanks, Ally.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁🇺🇸❤️✌️✌️
I am sorry, I have no musical skills, and I can't learn that's not my purpose, instead I enjoy see and listen you palying bagpiper, it's a pleasure's moment of the day. Thanks for play so beatifull.
Thank you ! You clarified so many points. I got a bagpipe last Xmas and besides the assembly and tuning I just couldn't understand why it felt so limited.
Thank You Ally that was so EDUCATIONAL I LOVE BAGPIPES BUT KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THEM, NOW I KNOW THIS.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁❤️✌️🇺🇸
You are truly blessed as a bagpiper. However, in this long format video, I found out you have angelic vocal pipes as well.
*Remarkably talented*
My pipeband uses the B flat chanters with regular drones and pipes sounds great! Perfect when playing with brass and reed bands and other instrument's! Enjoy your awsome videos!!
As a musician myself, I’ve always dismissed the bagpipes, not really understanding them. I’ve learned more about them in a few minutes with you, Ally, than I ever knew and your innovative work-arounds, enabling you to play along with concert instruments, really impress me. Thanks so much!
Great Pipes Drums article.that'll get you a few thousand more fans 👍
WOW! I just looked up your past competition results on the EUSPBA site. Quite impressive! 👍👍👍
That is so amazing, I'm curious if and how soon we will see greater variety in the pipe band competitions, with the availability of this new chanter/Reed set up.
This was the video that led me to follow you. I loved learning about the bagpipes from this.

W O W! Talk about going to school...that is so cool! Never knew playing the bagpipes was so involved. Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks for this! Our humble little pipe band sometimes plays bar gigs with piano and guitar (and we’ve got a trumpet player who wants to join us, too!) I’ve had a hard time explaining why the bagpipes don’t sound quite right with the other instruments. This proved very helpful!
I listened as carefully as human can.
I learned a lot, thank you!
I mean, the main point of this video is
your new hairstyle is awesome! 👩🦰
Impressive, like never knew, but bag pipes you have made modern and you play impressing good. Important for music.
Unique channel and talent who knows maybe the drop kick Murphys might call they've been playing at the new york state fair for the past couple of years, that would be so cool , take care ally
Ally, thank you so much. You answered my question regarding what key is a bagpipe in. Simple question, difficult answered simple.
I recently discovered the beauty of Heathen folk metal. I know little about music. People who call an amazing artiste a fake and foolish muggle haters. Ignore them. People with no haters, don’t matter much. I found you today while watching Alaina ginger tail and followed. Thank you Ally! ❤

As a piano player who knows next to nothing about bagpipes, I find these videos fascinating. Thank you!
Ally, you got a subscription from me. Everything you said was correct and you explained and presented it very well. Instead of explaining this myself as I have done many times, I will now just send this video.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁❤️✌️🇺🇸
I have allways before. Not beeing able to listen to Bagpipe playing. Intill i found your channel. Now i know wye. 🤭👍
Playing Musical instruments isn't sooo easy hey ! Takes skill/ intelligence/ patience 😊👍 I play guitar & i remember how confusing learning it was for me ! 17 years later I'm 100% comfortable playing guitar & it's very easy now 🎸😝🇦🇺🏄♂️
Also, the part that gets forgotten about much too often is maintenance. Too many novice musicians forget to keep their instruments clean and in temperature regulated areas. This helps keeping the instruments play ready when you want to use them. Also, proper storage. If you leave a guitar on a display stand for a long period of time, it will warp the neck. I have seen it happen more often than I would like to say.
@@Sarge-jn5ps I play drums. Now drums are an instrument…but drummers aren’t musicians. Lol
Thank You so much for exceptional education of the pipes!!!! You continue to Amaze me with Your Skills and Knowledge!!!! I have wondered how you transpose all these songs for the Bagpipe!!!! I Love Your Outfits for the week video!!!!

Sorry Ally, I lost you at the 51 sec. mark ... I don't understand or even read music. I wish I could, but I appreciate your enthusiasm toward explaining the bagpipe chanter, as well as your music.
There is my favorite bagpipe lady girl I love listening to you play and I you are very knowledgeable I know I have seen you play violin you proabably can play more instruments than that I just haven't seen enough of your videos though but now I have subsribed so I will be seeing more now. OUR BAGPIPE QUEEN I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK AND GREAT PROSPERITY
VERY EDUCATIONAL Video
I learned alot
Thanks
Very informative and I learnt something new.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this! Putting that new chanter on my wish list.

WOW! This lady can PLAY! John P.
Great explanation, well done!!!
Thanks on that demo in Shorts. That really illustrates your point.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁✌️😘❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful information. Amazing story about altering your bagpipes.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️🙄🙄
I knew you were a talented piper - but you are also a music technologist. I had many questions abt piping pitches. You addressed them all with aplomb. Now I see why pipes are typically accompanied by DRUMS (no pitch there!) 😂
Nice video. I'm looking forward to learn playing bagpipes and my question is, do you have any recommendations for beginners in terms of bagpipes and any tip how to start?
thank you! I now know more than I did before!
I love the longer videos!!! Lovely.
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁✌️🇺🇸❤️
I did learn! Thank you Ally
I love the Skarl of the pipes at any time of year and I think that someone near me also plays the pipes.

Nice presentation! Just got my first set of pipes and can't wait to learn!

To make things even more confusing, pipers generally talk as though the instrument was actually tuned to a 440 concert A, which hasn't been true for a very long time, if it ever was. It certainly was before I started, and I've been playing for over 50 years. There was so much information in this video it makes my head spin. If I watch it 4 or 5 more times, maybe I'll sort it all out.
Hi there I found this video really interesting I don't play eny instruments but my son plays a few instruments thanks for the tutorial, I like this sort of thing every now and then it makes the chanel a bit more rounded. So thanks again and keep up the good work
My wife is a concert Bassoonist that plays in a symphony orchestra. She has a recurring nightmare that she forgot her reeds or broke them before a concert. Glad that you were able to sort that in the wings (~phew). She carries many extra auxiliary reeds in her case so she can adapt to changing weather conditions. Do your reeds react to changing weather conditions, barometric pressure, humidity and temperature?
I love how she put 3 finger on her shoulder to display the drones 😂
Well thank you for the knowledge I didn't know any of this
Excellent information presented clearly and concisely . Very well done. Thank you. I forgot to mention, you also have a beautifully clear voice. Your tone lacks the electronic junk that is added to todays music. The spontaneous way you sang out the notes was ear pleasing. You should sing some songs yourself!!!!!!
From an engineering perspective I find it interesting, though the old drummer in me really finds it interesting. In a way chanters to pipers are like implement (sticks, mallets, bundles and brushes) are to drummers. Chanters are how you get keys, and implements are how we change tamber and texture.
Glimpsing all the medals you've won...😲

I have always wondered what keys the bagpipes were capable of. Thank you for sharing this, Ally!
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁🇺🇸✌️❤️🇺🇸
This was fascinating. Thanks for all the great info!

Thanks Ally
That’s the most detailed explanation of pipe chanters I’ve come across.
Although I’ve been playing the GHB to a reasonable standard for many years and I’ve got various science degrees, music theory does my head in! So I’m still none the wiser after your excellent presentation - my fault!
So I’ll stick to my theory - bagpipes are too loud to play with other instruments in any key. That gives me a good excuse to not engage in any jam sessions.
Alba gu brath!

Sorry Ally - I think you replied to this with a link but it seems to have disappeared. Could you resend please?
Thanks
George
Thankyou ally
It's so interesting to hear about all this!!
You're going to drive me crazy LOL
Now that I've got all my pupils used to Concert Bb
and the names of the notes in the English notation
Now I'm going to have them demand Guido D'Aretzzo's
names 🤦♂🤦♂Nearly all my "victims" are Spanish.
And I'll have to look into getting the New Chanters in B.
For the next time we play with Carlos Núñez.
BTW I Fully agree with Matthew Carey 👇👇very good
explanation. clear and entertaining, Look forward to more
Amazing. A few more videos of yours and I got all my pitch and octave questions answered. Your sweet. Even if though you dress in kilts (men's clothes).

Awesome! Many thanks for your Video. Maybe you are able to make a Video about the difference between a Scottish and an Irish Pipe? (If there is a difference?)
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁❤️✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video Ally!!
Very nice I know you always sound great 👍👍👍
Good morning from Syracuse NY young lady and everyone else
Good morning from Schenectady, NY!
Hi my friend I enjoy you playing the bagpipes
@@PiperAlly I thought I recognized your accent. I bet Earl did too.
Ayla, Aslan, Odin, Luna and Fynn 🐾
Love the video!
Looking forward to seeing you live at the Pittsburgh Irish festival if you hear a quiet harmonica just ignore it and consider it a tribute to your talent
Great explaination Ally, loving the extended video idea . Traditionally pipers were not taught this stuff as they usually only played with other pipers so understanding key was not really particularly useful. This is something I had to learn in recent years as I have been playing tunes with my guitar playing cousin and the first question he would ask me is what key are we going to play in. The first time he asked me this I was like what do you mean key?
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁🇺🇸❤️✌️
You are amazing.
This was an amazing video...19 years and didn't know about this Chanter stuff like that....Question: a week! reed will do the same off scale or seated off scale....that excludes a crap Chanter, Soft Reed....and tape can alter the scale...
.So watch Simon Freiser University

Competition pipe Bands...world Championship
Great job
Very informative. Thank you for sharing this information.

Poor g1 jock ...... died metres from my house........ funeral was a spectacle someone of the best pipers snd drummers in thr world played and marched as a massed band ..
I m ur fan coz u play a real bag Piper but other they r playing with costimised bag Pipe so .............I'm ur fan
I have two sets of shuttle pipes each in a different key: one in A and the other in B. I have about a dozen chanters in four different keys: A, B, C and G. I would love to get a set of great highland bagpipes but I wouldn' be able to play it in my condo, sadly....
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁✌️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
So if you were performing a variety of tunes do you set up multiple pipes for the performance?
Well I now know that bagpipes have chanters, that you can change, and that the other pipes are called drone pipes and that they can have extenders put on them. 🙂
Mind blown.
Youre Eyebrowews are perfect
So, when ACDC put the bagpipes on "It's a Long way To The Top", which is in A, did they have to tune up to B Flat to play with the pipes?
My favorite❤
That veri cool ally ❤
I'm sitting here with my guitar in front of my TV watching this video trying to keep up with your explanation of the chanter keys. Great explanations! I suppose on an A pitch chanter you could also play in E Dorian, F# Phrygian, G Lydian and C# Locrian if needed? Thanks for the videos!
Write me up ⬆️ I have something for you 🎁🇺🇸❤️✌️
Have a question for you about the concert B chanter? How are you tuning your drones? Are you using extenders or moving the reeds in their seat? Our band uses a Bb and we move the drones further out on the tuning pins. Thanks for any response you can provide

Когда без краски на лице. Вы гораздо красивее!!! Привет с Казахстана🙋♂️🇰🇿👍
Well, when you were playing those popular songs on your pipes, what chanters are you using exactly or are you using a pitch shifter in a DAW?
