posticon !!!~BAGPIPES~!!!


Yay, I have them!! I'm excited, and little by little I'm figuring out new things about them.
My main problem at the moment is trying to figure out how to put the cord onto the pipes.
The next problem will be figuring out how to breath correctly for the bagpipes. Do you have to do circular breathing to make them work???? Because I don't know that I know how to..

I don't think so. Since there is a bag you should be able to breath while the bag is feeding the chanter and the drones.

I think the idea is you fill up the bag as often as possible, but there'll always be air in there to make the sound, until you don't fill it up again - presumably at the end of a piece emoticon
