Has anyone on here learned to play the Highland bagpipes. I've never played anything like a recorder or anything with holes in it before. This may actually be and advantage because the lower hand of the bagpipes covers the holes using the flats of the middle of the fingers rather than the tips. The top three holes are played with the finger tips. I've bought myself a practice chanter (proper hole spacing for bagpipes) to get started. How difficult are the bagpipes to learn? There's only 9 notes on what I think is based on the Mixolydian scale so imagine it's less daunting that I imagined it might be.

Seriously, good luck. They can sound great when played well.

Good luck with the practise. Who knows where it might lead.
