- Every little boy wants to be like his dad. But when Luke Stewart tried to copy his dad's new bagpiping hobby, no one expected he'd be this good at it.

Wife: “None of us is musical in the family”
Piper dad: “Gee thanks”
Haha right! lol XD
He's not making a statement. He's a kid enjoying what he loves.

That’s correct.
Well done laddie!!
Dad is more than proud!!!
I absolutely love to see a kid his age doing something like this. The pipes are a very demanding instrument, to say the least. Good on you, kid!
It would be nice if they actually played a clip of him playing a song.
They did just after 30 seconds in and again at around 50
They actually did at the very end.
He played Scotland the Brave. ❤
Wow! This kid sounds wonderful playing the bagpipes! Pipe on kid! Self taught too, that's truly awesome!
You my man are the luckiest father ever. Hopefully he follows in your footsteps becoming a firefighter himself, and even if not, he's got the heart of gold and the courage of a lion already. Best of luck to you both.
Very talented lad. Do your family proud. Do Scotland and Ireland proud. You will always have a fan here.
Cally O'lonegan So many of us in America are very proud of our Scottish and Irish heritage. And we do keep a special place in our heart for Scottish and Irish homeland of our ancestors/family.
There are literally thousands of child bagpipers, I'm one, my friend was taught by a man who started when he was four.
I know right
Ur cool
Their hands are wrong...
Same here! I started as a seven year old and now as a sixteen year old , I can play the bagpipes!
Yes, when you're at The World's in Glasgow, it's easy to see that there are many talented piper-children, but this is just a local news story. It's certainly not common for 7yo kids to play the pipes at a grade 4 level, at least not in the US. I think the youngest member of our band started PC at 9, and he was ready to compete at 11, and we were all pretty impressed.
100 points for the beautiful mum🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't know why, but the sound of a bagpipe warms my heart.
Not only warms the heart, but fills your heart with some sense of pride and bravery as well, or maybe it's just me
Get that boy to an instructor, there's talent that needs to be harnessed and refined.
Agreed!
As if being self-taught is somehow not gonna make you good enough? :/!
Sure, some real-life guided instruction/tips can absolutely help when needed, but this already sounded incredible. There's plenty of evidence that there are self-taught (or at least partially self-taught) musicians that already sound great on their respective instrument. You just have to be musically inclined and have the patients to learn and soke in some knowledge. And a lot of the information you need to learn an instrument is right here on RUclips or other websites; gone are the days where you had to go to an expensive music school or something to learn to play an instrument. This is truly a musical revolution, because learning to play something is no longer limited to wealthy people who could afford an expensive music school or who could hire an instructor for private lessons or whatever; learning to play/make music has truly become more accessible than ever before. This is certainly not to say that this will take away the hours and hours of practice you might need to learn to effectively play your instrument. That time commitment is no less of a requirement than it was before the days of RUclips and the internet.
And yes, there are people who have RUclips channels dedicated to teaching bagpipes, in particular. Some of these also do "Zoom" or "Skype" meetings if the beginner bagpiper would like one-on-one instruction if needed. We need to step out of the old way of thinking and onward to the new.
I was 14 when I started...that was 20 beautiful years ago...still playing...love it.
BAGPIPES
SCOTTISH
HE IS NOW SCOTTISH
That little guy is really good. He's got musical talent and great lung power!
I'm extremely happy the see that he plays crosshanded because I learned this way on the practice chanter by mistake and now I know that I can play like this. 👍
I was 9 when I started. Now I'm 73 and still playing. This kid will be a wiz in his teens.
As a former pipe sergeant it’s very impressive as most people take 2-3 years to learn recreational piping, although I learned it six months I was payed to do it and I did everyday for 6 months, this boy could potentially make $400 a day off of street preforming.
I'm 10 years old and I play guitar and I think this kid is amazing
Now you’re 16 and you’ve hardly improved.
Frikk yeah! He’s got Stewart blood running through his veins! ☺️
Aye, I do love it when I see young lads on the pipes.
from a 23 yr old bagpiper, your good luke, stay with it
WOW, great job lil man! Great job dad for being a great role model & great job all around, on being the family unit that is so much more important than most people today realize. God bless your lil clan 👍🏻🏴🇺🇸🙏
Brings a tear to my eye.
Way to go lil man!!🏴 I know your dad is extremely proud of you, heck I'm proud of you & I don't even know you... & Dad your doing a great job too, I know it feels great to be his hero. God bless y'all & keep on piping...🏴🇺🇸
You go Luke! You're awesome
Awwww how sweet
hands reversed just like his teacher ( dad); by the time he's 15 he'll be cleaning up the boards in competition....if he gets a high ranked instructor. good stuff!!!
m. achnel Im starting to think that hands reversed is a more natural postureae for playing. Im blind, so Ive never seen how the pipes are played. The first time i picked my practice chanter, I played it hands reversejd just because and ive done it so for the last 4 years! and now im in a band where im the only weirdo who does that. This kid is amazing
Úlff MetalBagpiper99 wait how blind are you
@@abagpiperyoumetinmexico211 hey there, I am legally blind and I’m always excited to meet other folks that have either low vision or no vision that are playing the pipes. Would love to chat!
@@nancyirwin3150 This is interesting, I'm actually blind too! Nice to see a fellow visually impaired person on here :)))
I don't play bagpipes and I don't really have an intention to play them, but they're certainly a very fascinating instrument; how they work is really quite interesting to me. That's an instrument that I've somehow overlooked and forgotten about, but just a few days ago I for some reason decided to learn more about how they work! :))
Out of curiosity, what's your knowledge on bagpipes like? Do you have an understanding of how they work? There are likely some people who don't entirely understand it. And it can be even harder to understand it when your blind.
He’s no longer playing the pipes, he’s switched to playing the drums. His brother Dax plays the pipes
Love the Bagpipes. My Grandfather originally came from the Orkney Islands North of Scotland. He use to teach the piping and dancing and he also had his own tailor shop in Sudbury ont Where I live.
Good lad. Keep it up. When you're older, chicks love the pipes!!!
Amazing talent.
Powerful little boy
Wife throws dad under the bus saying none of us have any musical talent in the family
AUCH Lad...you have touched me heart!!! I'm from Edinburgh and lad, you keep on playing!!! So proud that you picked a Sctoch tradition...I play the pipes too!!! and the best part? I got the red hair, freckles,and the pipes too!!!! VIVA SCOTIA!!
Your from Edinburgh and you dont know Scotch is a whisky..that there is no such thing as a "Scotch" tradition? Honestly the BS is overflowing on this one.
Keep up the good work, Luke !
MOAR power to this lad!!!
I'm 32 and i can't even playing my dying cow bagpipe. lol
I got bagpipes for Christmas when I was 13 years old, but I didn't learn how to play them until I was 16.
Be very careful Mom and Dad, you have an old soul on your hands, and I'm willing to bet that this isn't his 1st time around
I love this playing the bagpipe sound is so amazing 10 out of 10 for me is a yes form me
Well done wee man 🏴
It's important to pass on our heritage to the next generation.
Wooow what a natural talent!
I have piped for over 30 years and started about this age. I hope he gets proper lessons because he could have real potential.
Congratulations 🍾🎊🎈🎉 to Luke
wow! good for him! I love it! very talented!
And he’s got a full set!
Wow! That's really impressive!
That's awesome! I love the sound of the bagpipes. Keep at it kid 😏👍
Great motivation..... fun to see, that dad and son plays with the hands upside down. Normaly you play with the left hand on top. But hey,- it works. I luv it. Greetings from Denmark
yeah, I can see why he's self taught, look at his fingers, there supposed to be opposite, right hand at the bottom and left on the top
Or he is left handed.
That’s funny as we pipers already play left handed, left on top.
I'm a piper and I've seen many pipers play with the hands opposite.
his Dad is doing it wrong as well...
In my opinion, hand placement doesn’t matter as long as he’s comfortable and the notes come out right.
This is genuinely cool.
Cleburne, TX - we are so happy to hear your excellent choice of music. Good & clean!!!! Krum, TX
Talented kid.
I'm impressed. I asked my aunt and uncle to get me some highland bagpipes for my birthday this coming February. I have Scottish and Irish and accessory in my blood. My ancestor is John Knox and the other one is Henry Knox, the first secretary of war in the general of the artillery during the revolutionary war
well done buddy.keep up the great work
SCOTLAND FOREVERRRRRRRR
Awesome kid.
Always wonder why videos for such a big news org are encoded as interlaced. We're in 2014, there is no reason for interlaced video to exist any more.
RUclips videos are very helpful. I've self-taught clarinet techniques using youtube. its great!
What a champ!
Just like a news channel to report about a kid playing an instrument and then have 3 seconds of footage of him playing it
I'll be MacCrimmon, good on you son help ma blue, bonnets over, the border, keep it up young man doing great
Bagpipe music great to get rid of scammers. ha ha ha
interesting how his dad play with right top hand ( very uncommon and may be considered 'incorrect') and the kid ended up also learning right hand top.
Proud dad. Fit like Great wee loon
Where is this guy right now should be a pro right now
0:52 they are TUNES!!!!
um they are playing with their hands upside down
You're probably Australian. Up here, everything probably looks upside down to you. In reality, our hands are just like yours.
Nah, I mean normally you play with the left hand on the top 3 holes, and the right hand on the bottom four holes of the chanter. The kid is playing the other way around.
Johans the great because the bag is on his left and his right hand can't reach that far round
So does his father.
Buddy that’s how I play... I play with my right hand on top left on the bottom and I’m self taught... it’s just what feels right
Respekt. Ist schon 7 Jahre her, aber hoffe, er hat heute noch Gefallen dran. Ich liebe Bagpipes. 👍👍👍
This kid's Scotland bound
That is brilliant to see at that age
bag pipe nobal holds note ahead of the ending to meet a halfway before you know it. in other words takes my breath away, organizes sound what I find helps me is to listen to the baseball charge song just before.. just kidding I've never played the bag pipes but that little Scott makes me dream big an idea full of clouds. and that skirt is top notch
Great stuff!
Well done
Put him on America’s got talent
Bloody nice pipes!
Also…..
……His hands..… 😳
I would recommend he gets a smaller size of bag, cause it would be a lot more comfortable for him. And they are tunes, not songs. Songs hasve lyrics.
That's not a thing.
Don't be an idiot.
GuitarGuy057 mate, do you play the Pipes? Are you a member of a Pipeband? Have you been playing for seven years? I know a smaller sized bag when I see one. One of the other members in my band has a synthetic bannatyne Pipebad which is small instead of a regular. Also Tune is correct term to describe a piece of music on the Pipes instead of song, because songs have lyrics. Tunes are simply pieces of music with no lyrics. Do your research before trying to shoot down someone only to make YOU look like an idiot.
Aw, damn it man. My bad. I was trying to reply to a different comment. This new comment layout is bullshit.
GuitarGuy057 ah, sorry mate. Thought you were talking to me.
I think he is getting help, someone taped his chanter
good on him using a straight blowpipe not a bendy one
Great tunes, especially considering his age! I would *strongly* recommend getting an instructor and fixing the backwards hand positioning, however. If Luke is passionate about the pipes and dreams of competing one day, he's going to have to have his left hand on top or the judges won't have him.
I noticed his dad also played left hand down.
Fantastic!!!
He should preform at Edinburgh Castle
I wonder if he’s still playing the pipes
Amazing.
This boy reminds me of the 13-year-old opera singer Laura Bretan!!!!! If you have seen this guy, wait 'till you see Laura Bretan singing. She has the best vibrato ever. She isn't piper, but nevertheless Laura has an amazing singing voice for only being 13. If Laura saw this, I think this will inspire her to become - gasp - a piper!
You can learn ANYTHING from RUclips. RUclips is a very very powerful tool.
Omg a 7 year old kid can play the bagpipes. Wipdie doo
If its factual, ...it is a big deal. Of course youd not know that unless you ever tried to play them . It takes many years of hard work....a big if,,but very impressive if accurate...Sounds like you have accomplished less than this child has in life and it really bothers you. It'll be Ok jr, start now, and you may make something of yourself yet.
Could be an aspie; speaks little, fast-learning(/self-taught) on artistic skills, has special interest on bagpipes(:
Well done wee man. A credit to yer da
How dare anyone dislike this video
Person DFS me i hate bagpipes
@@xkonstantin5 You don't like Bagpipes, then out the window you go.
1979cl1 side of preference
@@xkonstantin5 Narcisist
No, I'm not. One dislike doesn't mean that i disrespect the boy. It is just dislike
I play the bagpipes and there is no way he could learn all that from self teaching
The little guy needs to wear some ear protection. Piping is a lifelong passion, and the loudness of the GHB, especially indoors or with a band can cause hearing loss over a longer period of time. Keep the pipes up!
He’s so brave to speak up in an interview.
Shawty24 so the only thing u comment on is the fact that he spoke in a interview and not the fact that he is in grade 1 and can play bagpipes????
🥰 awww
that bagpipe lives scotland
I'm surprised his fingers can cover the holes! He must have huge hands; I couldn't even hold the PC properly until I was at least 10yo... I sure he'll be composing 8-part Strathspeys and singing Canntaireachd by now... He'll certainly be the youngest Pipe Sargeant in EUSPBA 👏👏👏... (Lol, "Traditional garb"... it's a bit much, but it sounds more interesting than "standard issue band uniform"... The "garb" is nice, but it's incidental; the precocious talent is what is rare.)
Left & right hands of both father and son are reversed -- they will only practice their mistakes as time goes by.
Makes no difference. being left handed does NOT promote mistakes. Are these players poor performers because they use this configuration:
Colin MacLellan
Alasdair Gillies
Terry Lee
Iain Speirs
Ross Cowan
Bruce Gandy
Alan Bevan
+Robert McDonald NONE of the pipers you name play with their left hand on the bottom. Idiot!
@@GuyWersh if he were left handed he would put his bag in his right arm and have his right arm on the top of the chanter (inverse of regular playing style), no point is being made about left handed people being inferior in any way you imbecile its just that it's clearly poor technique
I thought it might be because he couldn't reach around the bag, but it turns out he's just copying his dad, if they're left handed they should get the bags set up to play for left handed, but if the boy is right handed he needs to start holding it the correct way, the sooner the better. Those bad habits will stay with him.
Some famous pipers played with reversed hands. Look up Pipe Major Donald MacLean of Lewis, he played exactly like that father and son, pipes on left shoulder, right hand on top. Look up St Lawrence O Toole Pipe Band, they're in Grade One and they have a piper that plays like that. True that it's not as common as fully reversed (pipes on right shoulder, right hand on top) but there's no "mistake" about it.
Literally everyone in scotland:
Im surprised his size wasn't a problem
I've seen it takes very long time before being able to learn bagpipes as first you use a special practicing flute.
Yeah a chanter, not a 'practising flute' 😂
