I need a piper's help please

[EagleJCS]

Hey brothers. I've been on the chanter about over a year now and I haven't thrown it across the room once !

That tells me you're not practicing enough!


Re: pipe bag size - height and weight have little to do with how big a pipe bag to get - it's your arm length. You want to get a bag that will not be making contact with your forearm when inflated and in the proper position (as high up & back as you can get it without having the drones tip forward). With long sleeve shirts, I wear a 32" shirt - could probably go 33" if they made them. 34" is too long for me. That said, I play a small Canmore bag. I have also tried a small Gannaway.

Have you been over to the bagpiping forum? (PM me for the link if you haven't.) One of the moderators over there also has his own website, and one page lists various pipe bag dimensions.

Best of luck!

Best thing to do, is play his set and see how it feels.
