Glad to know people are still playing the traditional duckpipes.
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm more familiar with the Mallard-style pipes, though
Not to confuse with it's older cousin, the quackpipes.
Seems quacky to me..
Meh, I still remember when they used real ducks, not that modern plastic stuff ..
well there is the german
Gänsepfeife is made from a goose and it sounds like a singing goose
If I just heard that instrument in a soundtrack, I would imagine the most badass thing. Which would, of course, be this duck with tubes coming out of his face. Straight metal.
I would pay good money for a collab video between Nicolas and Michelina ruclips.net/video/ojrZw9wrfZ0/видео.html
I dunno about metal. But definitely the most punk instrument. =)
I can’t wait for the new system of a down album with this
I can't work out whether this is the best or worst set of bagpipes ever.
Two things can be true at once.
I think worse would be if he'd used the other kind of blowup d - - -
The Alpha and the Omega. It is everything, yet it is nothing. We are humbled to be in its great presence, and cower before it's terrible might.
The ducky is a lot cuter than the whole goat! :D
Wow we both first! Thats crazy since tomorrow we drop the podcast with all three of us 🤣
You guys rule!

I still can't beleive how good pvc can sound!
Everyone should have pvc flute at home :-D
Just a tip if you're not aware, bagpipes require a LOT OF elbow pressure to work. The bag just being inflated isn't enough, and you've got to compensate for the air being blown out by continuously increasing the pressure until you fill it up again
I liked it before the video even started. This thing is absolutely, delightfully horrifying both in sound and looks. Perfection.
Thanks a lot!
You never cease to amaze me. Boundless creativity.
Thanks a lot!
I only recently found your videos through the algorithm, and your creations have absolutely set my brain alight. I wish I found you 10 years ago! Everything you do is so fascinating and inspiring. I also have a long-time love of playing with PVC, but I never could have dreamt it was possible to make such things. Your wide knowledge of existing instruments and musical styles also makes my heart so happy, as a person who loves indigenous music.
You have given me no excuse; I have a lot of things to make and play now.
That's one ominous sounding duck. Love it.
This is the coolest instrument I have ever seen. I've always wanted to learn to play bagpipes (either highland great pipes or small pipes), but now I know what I really want. DUCKY PIPES!
It would have been cool to see a bit more of the clarinet membrane set up, and how it works. Awesome video man! 🦆🦆🦆
failry certain he has a video on them
I'm working on the tutorial, for real!
Do a search for membrane pipes and you'll find more information.
I was about to say "what a horrid monstruosity mounted on that poor duck" (reminded me of young Willy Wonka, haha) but when I heard your tune and awesome playing then I just decided to bow and praise!! Fantastic work once again!!
Thanks for sharing...and amazing...I am going to call this "the ducky drone"! The membranes work well to get a very good drone sound that is very full. Tuning several creates some rich overtones.
Thanks!
I love this idea! It’s the sousaphone of bagpipes!
Finally, I've found the perfect instrument.
Love it. That one will be a crowd pleaser. The music at the end made me think of a pirate funeral. Excepting the pirate piper keeps getting scurvy looks from the others and can't quite figure out why
no idea why youtube recommended this to me but for once I'm glad it did, this is some impressive work
Ça a pris du temps, quelques siècles, mais le concept a enfin abouti !
I bet this would be fun to hear this thing playing the spirit temple theme from Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Discovering this made my week
I love your stuff especially your songs! They are so raw, natural, almost tribal yet so elegant!
Thanks!
Bagpipes are my main build; that and whistles. I think you might find that they become addictive, I certainly did. I've used inflatables for other non-music builds, and they have a nasty habit of breaking. It's a shame because they're funny. I've had less but similar problems using vinyl pleather. Leather costs more, but I love working with it. If there's a leak, you find it, you cement it, and it's never a problem again.
This membrane clarinet style is fantastic to get the sort of northumbrian-smallpipe sound, but it can't replicate the sounds from a proper double-reed. The double-reed actually changes how it vibrates based on the frequency being played. That allows every note to get a slightly different timbre, which is what I especially love about the irish Uilleann bagpipes. I love the idea of using them for the drone-pipes! I think that could save me a lot of time in the future.
I love your choice for the clapper-valve. My first build I used the valve from a 3M face-mask. I researched the patent on it and everything. In retrospect, it was a time-sink to fit it in place, but it did indeed work very well.
Thanks for your experience! I work a lot on those membrane clarinets, but this my first bagpipe style instrument, it could be really improved!
Quelle créativité ! En plus c'est drôle et beau à entendre.
Grand merci!
Duckies are actually the best, and you just found a way to make them even better!
Love them, mutilate them!
WOW, DARK AND TECHNO SOUNDING! REMINDS ME OF KUBI!
You just blow into the T shaped piece with one end is sealed with latex and get this brain massaging bass? This sounds sooo sick, dude. Love this video.
Définitivement le projet que j'attendais de voir !! Encore une belle réussite, vivement que je fasse ma propre cornemuse !
Je suis Breton et je suis choqué, magnifique, maintenant il faut faire un biniou kohz 😉
Genius!! Love the song and how all the instruments you made sound like an orchestra!
Thanks!
Génial! On dirait un peu Faun où d'autres groupes néo-trad dans le genre
You made a wicked medieval sounding tune using common items. You earned a sub from me.
Membrane Clarinets.....OMG...they sound AWESOME
This may be my favorite one yet. Thanks for sharing!
Nice to see someone actually make great sounding D.I.Y Bagpipes :D
Leaving my comment here so hopefully someone will do a 12 hour loop for this.
Plz try tuning the instruments with a stable drone to just intonation! That way there will be less beating in the frequencies and the combination tones will make it sound like there is a different bass tone playing.
This is really great. I think it needs a duck call mouthpiece added, or a duck call mixed in with the song.
Awesomeness. I couldn't help but nod my head to the song . Much love ❤️
Amazing ! Très beau travail !
You cheer me up after a bad day at music school. You are the best teacher because you are passionate and kind.
"Don't worry, this space cookie can't hit too hard on ya"
the space cookie: 5:06
Now we need a movie, the theme has already been composted and played!
Astonishing, as always! 👏👏👏
Love your work, from one Nick to another 😁 your videos never disappoint!
Great !! And no ducks were harmed during the concert.
This sounds superb!
Nicolas, tu es vraiment un troubadour de l'extrême !!
I love the look and the sound of the ducky bagpipes! I just wish I could have shown it to this old school Scottish bagpipe instructor who took the hobby waaaaaaayyyyy too seriously. I didn't psue the lessons but his greeting message to me was something like this with a strong Scottish brogue/accent...."ya kenna' pley' the pypes' unless yee really are detikated to them...are ya reeeelyy...reeelly dedicated sonny!: I didn't have the heart to tell him that I wanted to learn the "pypes" so I could start a metal band and have a lead bagpipe player in it. But this one in the video sounds great...a little bit Mideastern like something from a 1950s movie from the Casba
Duuuuuude...AWESOOOOME!!! very cool, sad that i see this so late..
Wonderful sound and crazy looking, I love it :)
Vraiment un incroyable travail, j'adore le rendu final !
Grand merci!
Wow, not too far from some folk pipes. Great job!
Now I need to hear Duckland the brave on these duckpipes
Incroyable comme d'habitude
Je pensais que ce canard était réfractaire il est une muse sonore. Merci pour ta sympathique ingéniosité sonore et ce partage de recherche depuis un bout de temps.
awesome music, what a thrill to watch your videos! thanks
C’est monsieur de canard merveilleux.😉🥰🤩
wow you blow my mind again once more often, thanks dude, ducky free hugs xox
This looks like a techpriest duck, incredible
This is one of the best I've seen you make
Beautiful work, sir!
maaaaaaaaaaan, this channel is something different!!! I am not into flutes and their family, but what you are making here is really unique. cheers and keep up the good work you are doing! impresive!
This is much better than Netflix 😁
Amazing work !👏 Keep on rocking 😎
Congratulations Nicolas, brilliantly done. Lots to work with here🧙♂️😊
Thanks!
Im so happy i found your channel, i enjoy your creativity making unique instruments. keep doing fun things with music.
Thanks, I will!
Really fun project that puts a smile on your face 🙂
Love the end result, sounds pretty good. Also love the video editing in this video. You are getting better and better on all fronts !!
Brilliant good sir. Love it.
Very impressive! Well done.
You are my musical hero.
Great work love the content
You are so awesome, I love this one soooooo much, Bravo magnifique!
Brilliant work thank you.
Love the song!
The song is awesome. Vraiment géniale comme vidéo. Tu ne cesses de nous surprendre x)
Daaamn that's a nice drone out of that thing at 3:51
Encore une super musique à ajouter à la collection ^^.
J'adore vraiment ce que vous faites, c'est toujours inattendu et intéressant sur plein de niveau ^^.
J'ai trop envie de me faire une clarinette à membrane et d'apprendre à en jouer, ce son est juste magique à mes oreilles ^^
what a fantastic job !
literally !
Thanks!
That chanter sound you have here kind of reminds me of a few middle Eastern instruments,such as :Dudak & Mijwiz
Amazing, innovative and unique
Dope as usual
I LOVE ducks! I want one of these!!! Please!
This is AWESOME 🌈
Haha t'es complètement dingue. J'adore! J'ai trouvé plus ouf que moi... C'est génial! Bravo! N'arrête pas!
I started to learn how to play that song from that ducky bagpipes video on my tagelharpa and I'm getting good at it.
Wow that a very nice idea💡. It also sounds very good 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.
Amazing. And cute ducky
Thanks 4 your dedication. Im like all that you do. 💪💪💪💪🤘Top
Brilliant!
Kind-of disappointed you didn't to a cover of "Rubber Ducky!" Thanks for the great video.
Awesome!
This thing is ludicrous, I love it
I love this channel
Génial! Tu t'es fait un nouvel abonné !
Cool, bienvenue!
ça fait désormais depuis 2016, me semble-t-il, que je te suis! Trop cool ce que tu fais, j'adore et quand je donnais des cours de musique sur les vents je montrais toujours la vidéo où tu présentes les propriétés du PVC!
Mais c'est génial :D J'imagine "Shoots and ladders" de Korn avec ce duck-bagpipe, ç'aurait été tellement meilleur (une idée de cover comme ça au passage). Bravo Nicolas !
I like how the drones and the chanter sound like a clarinet!
This is great and I think I could make my own set of pipes using this.
poor duck! he met a mad scientist :)
you're a genius. thank you!
