I rarely change my cords but when I do this video always help me, thanks. I had an accident this time and I think it's important to warn everyone in this video's comment section: When finishing, do NOT pull the tassel to finish the knot, always use the cords. Broke mine here minutes ago, maybe I'm kind of brute too, who knows.

@MattWillisBagpiper 3 года назад

Very good point! Do I pull the tassel when I tighten the knot?

@@MattWillisBagpiper You didn't, and you were gentle with the cords hah, well noted.

Thank you!

Thanks for the video! I just got a set of Osage orange bagpipes made for me with lovely maroon cords and I may be changing them out for a new color when the wood darkens with sun exposure. This is very helpful!

@MattWillisBagpiper 5 лет назад

Glad you found it useful!

@MattWillisBagpiper 5 лет назад

Also, I’d love to see a photo of your Osage pipes!

Thanks, I was fun

You were? 😉

@PiperKev 5 лет назад

A nice, timely video!! I like your "rule of thumb" technique for measuring the hanging ends! I'm never sure how long to make them, and I end up having to cut and redo my zip ties, which is a pain! One question: You don't twist the cords even when putting the drone tops back on the pipes?

@MattWillisBagpiper 5 лет назад

Thanks! I generally only start twisting the cords when they start stretching. If you look at the photo I show in the video, they are twisted because the cords have stretched to slightly longer than 7".

@wvbsstudent6295 3 года назад

wow, i had no idea what i was doing. i just wrapped mine around the drones and tied them in a knot... i also just got my pipes like yesterday. XD

@naitheninja5161 4 года назад

I am one of the lucky few. I have a cord holder on the lower part of my bass drone XD

@MattWillisBagpiper 4 года назад

What pipes do you own? MacLellan Antique edition?

@naitheninja5161 4 года назад

@@MattWillisBagpiper Yep! Your video was awesome BTW. I have just gotten Kilted in a pipe band, and everyone in the band uses a different color cord than I do, so I needed to swap mine out but had no idea what I was doing. Not that that stopped me from doing it wrong before looking for help!

@matthewdenty7760 3 года назад

Can you do a vid on adding the tartan ribbon , curious how those are built .. tks

@MattWillisBagpiper 3 года назад

I may, though it's pretty straightforward. Most are just purchased. They will have either snaps or velcro to hold onto the drones. And they do not replace the cords, but go over them.

@timothyaldrich4926 2 года назад

hey matt is the spacing about 6 1/2 inches good

@MattWillisBagpiper 2 года назад

That should be fine. It’s a bit on the close side, but cords tend to stretch over time. 👍

@@MattWillisBagpiper ok i’m rehemping my joints right now they are new pipes but the hemp expanded and some spots are harder to move on the tuning pins

@timothyaldrich4926 2 года назад

@@MattWillisBagpiper another quick question is ok to put hemp seal at the stock with polyester thread or now

@MattWillisBagpiper 2 года назад

I finish all my polyester joints with hemp seal, stock fittings and tuning joints.

@LesliePiper 5 лет назад

"Rocket Surgery"? you mean: "Brain Science" BTW: are you using Black Zip Ties so that it's easier to see or preference' Otherwise, I would have imagined you'd use yellow. OH and, yes I like the video.

@MattWillisBagpiper 5 лет назад

Wondered if anyone would at h that line. 😜 I’d normally use the clear(ish) ones on gold, and yes, I wanted folks to see what I was doing.
