Back to Gilwell on Bagpipes

[Kilt-alope]

I just got the phone call today that my finished ticket has been approved, but it may be august before I can get beaded (working at an out of state camp over the summer). Anyway, yes a pdf of the sheet music for bagpipes would be great, I will try to get in touch with the Atlanta pipe band when I get back.

thanks

You'll need to realize going into it that you're looking at a minimum of six months before you get on a set of pipes, and that's if you progress rapidly. You'll also know more tunes that those three before your instructor/tutor will let you get on a set.

Your best bet is to get in touch with the band right now, see what they recommend for a practice chanter (if they have no preference, I like the Dunbar Millenium).

Ask yourself if you want to play the pipes, or just play those three tunes. If they former, go for it. If the latter, save your time, energy and money.
