Looking for a recording of the Star Spangled Banner on pipes.

I'd bet good money that Amazing Grace is #1. Scotland the Brave (or "the Old Spice tune" as people sometimes call it...) at #2? I suppose "Happy Birthday" could be up there, if you play a lot of that sort of event.

I can think of a few others that I get asked to play all the time, too. Minstrel Boy, for example.

Thanks, Jay, for the link.
Thanks all for the info. Buddy of mine is looking for it and I knew to look here, first.

This is as close as you'll EVER get.

The CD with The Star Spangled Banner has recordings from a chorus, band, and pipeband.

Their rendition of TSSB will be predominantly or exclusively by a military band & chorus. I haven't heard this CD, so cannot be certain exactly how they went about it.

It's possible to include pipes hither, dither, & yonder within the arrangement, but the pipes won't be carrying the melody.

If TSSB could be performed on the Great Highland Bagpipes, you'd be hearing it in Massed Bands at each and every highland games held within the borders of the United States.

Slainte yall,

You're spot on.

Down here, I rarely hear it referred to as the "Old Spice Song". Virtually everyone seems to know it by its proper name.

Or occasionally someone will call it "Irish Mist". I think that once very nearly lead to a fist fight in the middle of massed bands.
