Practice chanter present

[David]

A wee while ago I managed to trace my family tree back to 1524, a direct father son line all the way back. I said to my immediate family I feel even more Scottish now, if that was possible! Some would say that I have warped sense of humour, but they all took me seriously when I said due to this new found feeling of Scottishness I was going to learn to play the pipes. I kept this going for the past few months, including posting links to manufacturers on my Bookface page and changing my home page banner? to the logo for the National Piping Center, and pointing out the center to the wife as we drove by it one day.

Well my son being a daft as my father was, bought me a practice chanter from McCallums and gave it to me for my birthday on Friday.

I now feel committed to at least give it a bash. Anyone know of a good book called something like "Teach yourself the bagpipes in 10 easy lessons even if your kilt has more musical ability than you do".
