I just discoverd CR.net. Whatever took me so long! I have 35yrs plus experince playing the great highland bagpipe. I was first trained as a drummer by my late father John Lethbridge who served as Drum sergeant of The 48th Highlanders of Canada. At age 16 I took an interest in the pipes and was taught by the late Pipe Major Ian Watt ex Pipe Major of The Boys Brigade Pipe Band of Glasgow Scotland.
If you want to read a more detailed history about me please visit www.piobmhor.ca . I am looking forward to chatting with the members of this unique forum.

The Scots of course insist that the pipes produce music. But the point is after all not too important. For those who love them, the pipes can evoke more vividly than any other instrument, high emotion, they can inspire valor, and tell of tragic tales of battles long ago. They can call forth merriment or sentiment. It does not matter what the sound is called, those who are deaf to its merits would not understand anyway.

Hi Mark
Welcome! I love the pipes. Wish I could play them. I miss being able to play my music. I play recorder but can't much any more. Might you be knowing about other music and maybe an instrument that sounds like the wind through the trees that can be played with one hand? I need my music. It is great here with lots of good music and friends. But it's not the same as being able to play your own. Music is in the heart.

Greetings piobmhor piper!

I'm sure you'll find this forum as fun and interesting as I have. You have an interesting musical history. Too bad you went to the dark side (I'm a drummer cool.gif )

Cheers!

Welcome Piobmhor Piper! Your quote about the pipes is right on. Anyone who does not shed a tear at " Amazing Grace" on the pipes has a heart of stone. Hope to hear from you often!

Thanks to all who have welcomed me. Im enjoying the forums and of course listening to Celtic radio.

Rebecca Ann unfortunately I know of no one handed wind or reed instrument. I couldn't imagine being without my ability to play my music. My heart goes out to you.

Todd, sorry to hear that you are a drummer. Drummers are a necessary evil for pipe bands. I was trained at a young age as a drummer but when I was 16 I decided to become a musician. biggrin.gif

Hello Ernest, Thank you for the welcome post. It is good to hear from another musician. I play a set of Peter Henderson pipes. They were made by him shortly before he died and my wife plays a McCloud set. We have both been playing for over 35yrs.

Slainte to all!
Mark
