    That's exactly what I was thinking!

    Good on you for several reasons, then! I've had a chanter for lo on 3 years and still haven't figured it out...I am really impressed.

    Me too, Gregory, but you come from a musical family, which must help. I had one-to-one piping lessons (many years ago) but gave up after about six months because I could not get to grips with reading music!! Whilst I was growing up the only music I heard came from the radio or 78rpm records!!

    Well done!

    I too took up the pipes when I was a boy, only to give up on them a little while later due to the difficulty I was experiencing. Perhaps I was to quick giving them up, but this article gives me hope maybe one day I will try them again.

    Outstanding Greg! Utmost congratulations, and the fact that you picked up the pipes in under a year is also outstanding!
