Happy International Bagpipe Day everybody!

I’m sad to say this attempted pipebag for my hummelchen didn’t work very well (as it made them unplayable!), though I still think the concept was sound.

Brought on my my recent reading, I wanted to remind y’all that Dave Shepherd’s “Rose of Raby” is an excellent tune and sounds lovely on the smallpipes. I’ve even played it on my own hummelchen recently!
Anyone else have a folk tune to share this #TuneswapTuesday ?

Rose of Raby (Dave Shepherd) - Bagpipes and Harp

To learn on my new pipes: the Rose of Raby by Dave Shepherd. One of my favourite Blowzabella tunes, it sounds gorgeous on smallpipes. Also it is in G minor so I can wind melodeonistas up ;-)

Today’s exciting delivery - hummelchen! That is to say bagpipes in G with the same fingering as my Swaynes, but that are quiet enough for me to, in good conscience, actually practice regularly as they aren’t deafening.
