I buy a dozen on the spot.
Re: thisway we sell bagpipes!
The video immediately made me fell in love with this instrument: the perfect tuning, the drone stability, the sound of the chanter... all is perfect.
I'm going to sell my gaita to definitely buy one of those.

I could easily see this used as a weapon of mass destruction or exquisite torture.

Is this not the Jimi Hendrix cover of "Scots Wha' Hae' "?
I teleported home one night
With Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Meggie's heart away
And I got Sidney's leg.

I have never laughed so hard at something not intended to be funny.

Re: thisway we sell bagpipes!
Of course we're laughing at other people's ignorance here, which I suppose is fair enough. I can't help feeling that we're all living in glass houses though. I wonder what Africans would think of our 'African Cuisine', or, say, Southern black people of the 20s and 30s of our 'blues' (I'm specifically thinking of British white folks here). I wouldn't mind betting that that latter, in particular, is about as laughable as yer man on the pipes. Not that I don't indulge myself from time to time, of course ...

Re: thisway we sell bagpipes!
I'd say most Africans would think "gosh, if I only could have that..." And the blues, well, at least the better kind of players can play, even if not exactly the 20-es Delta Blues variety. The guy in the vid simply cannot even inflate a bag, and on the basis of that expertise is trying to sell a set of pipes.

You're probably right on all counts. Just being philosophical about the whole thing, I suppose.Yuri wrote:I'd say most Africans would think "gosh, if I only could have that..."

Re: thisway we sell bagpipes!
The video had me worried about the poor lad, so I was relieved to see he had finally killed it in the following picture...
Really, I do understand that it is a difficult instrument, but it was readily apparent that the young man had never really tried to play it before. I don't blame him for the video - I would guess that he was just doing what he was told. The business owner, on the other hand, should have known better...

...don't worry - that was just the rarely heard note of K flat. I meant to do that.
