every single one of my band teachers have been doing that eyebrow raise thing and i dont know why. and now you do it too im so confused

This is interesting. Bagpipes are an instrument I have severely underestimated for some reason; it's most likely because I rarely hear it in the kinds of music I like listening to, or because it just wasn't presented to me very often. I find it really interesting how they work even if I have no real intention on playing them! :) You mentioned how when the airflow starts, you can't really stop it and you can't really "articulate" individual notes. Well, yes, that's how bagpipes work. I don't know if you've really listened to bagpipe music much, but bagpipers use what's called "grace notes" to compensate for this, particularly when 2 or more adjacent instances of the same note exist in the song being played. This is done by having one very short note in between the 2 instances of that repeated note. Also, it's worth pointing out that bagpipes are very unique from most other wind-controlled instruments. With something like a saxophone or a clarinet or flute or whatever, the air coming from your mouth is what causes the instrument to make sound. But with bagpipes, the sound is not produced directly with air from your mouth, but rather by the air coming from the bag as you squeeze it; this is why the instrument is even called "bag" pipes to begin with! The only time you use air from your mouth is when you need to regularly re-inflate the bag while playing; the air coming from the bag that operates the actual pipes causes the bag to deflate pretty quickly, so you have to somehow re-inflate it to keep the sound going for any significant time. So I say using your mouth on the blowpipe to inflate the bag is not entirely different from inflating a balloon; the bag inflates with air like a balloon does, and in turn this air is forced through the pipes as the bag is squeezed! :) I only point these things out because there are likely some people who don't understand how bagpipes actually work. It sounded like you didn't quite understand it early in the video, but you're not the only one either. I didn't fully understand it myself until I decided to learn about it.

You can definitely tell that those glove bagpipe videos from 10 years ago have been making their way back to viral land.

You need a more stretchy glove and most importantly a check valve in the blowpipe

We made plastic straw reeds in the school cafeteria back in the day - oboe/bassoon nerds showed us lol. Apologies to the lunch ladies.

Hahaha, this sounds too legendary xD

Wow you got it sounding like an actual bagpipe..

I was thinking, maybe a check valve for aquariums (you can buy them at pet stores, not very expensive) could help keep the glove inflated a bit longer, or at least give you time to catch your breath... just a thought 🤔

Love it... When's the album coming out? 😜

This is awesome! It might be less awkward to play if you put the mouthpiece in the index and the cantor in the thumb.

Wow that sounded glorious! 👍👍

It looked and sounded like a living thing :) 👍

Is it possible to see a close-up of the cut on the straws? I tried many times, and I could not get a sound to save my life! 😂

Yes! You did it!

This is great! 💯

This is friggin awesome lol

i can make this at work omg

How exactly do I apply the tape on the end of the straw so that it buzzes??

Is there any type of close up on the balloon stick cut? Can’t seem to get that right?!?

Strange instrument, but I like it hahaha! ^_^

The most Scottish DIY ever

Top marks for perseverance.

As a bagpiper this makes me sad😭😭😭

yes.. i think those cleaning glove too hard to use.. maybe using standard latex glove like the thing that used in your other video reference could help?

Try two regular latex gloves as a double layer

The Scotsman in me is both proud and horrified.

Ok...i had to watch this..the title alone got me

You should use a membrane system its quite easy and isn't too much about tinkering like the straw 😅 Edit: It's.easier than the reed system (I think) I am currently using file folders to make a membrane because I don't have clean pvc pipes to use 😅

I came here to make it after seeing it at Instagram. I will not do it most likely because, yeah I don't have any of those materials at home. And I don't have the money to just spend. Eh I guess I will just sleep.

But how do you cut the end of the sticks though?

Did you end up using the balloon sticks for the drones or are those straws?

Well no plastic straws in germany anymore...so no bagpipe for me :(

When you cut it bite down on it and make it flat

I'm a Scottish canadian don't trigger me

I know what you’re doing wrong. I wish I could tel you, btw I like ur videos

But can ye play Scotland the Brave

Alba gu Brath!

You didn't tell us how to make the chanter on the end 🤷‍♂️

why does your brothers voice sound like you? it's so funny and weird at the same time

you have to censore latex and sticks for youtube now?! for age restriction, or what?

Just buy a set of McCallums

Seems you using to thick of a glove so that why its harder to fill up with air

You dish washing glove is to stiff.

First view AND comment?

1st off thats not a latex glove that he wants. its a cleaning work glove..... 90% ur problem
