How to Play the Bagpipes for Beginners: The Ultimate Guide to Learning, Playing, and Becoming Proficient at the Instrument (Instruments for Beginners)

This book is great to learn to notes used to play the bagpipes. I have both electronic chanter, and manual chanter. The difference is with the electronic chanter. I can plug in my headphones or ear buds, and I am the only person who can hear me practicing. The manual chanter...everyone can hear you. Lol. Getting very good and ready to play the whole bagpipe with the bladder and drones!

its a good book to read it explains the history, the basic techniques and how to maintain bagpipes.

Fascinating! I never knew the history of bagpipes, or that they are so great for your health! This book would be great for someone learning to play for the first time.

A good in depth book for musicians. The author gives thorough step by step instructions on how to play the Bagpipes along with a bit of history as well.

The chapters on the types of bagpipes and their history is very good. The rest of the book, particularly the parts on fingering are unnecessarily complex and confusing. The only music to play is presented in Alphabetical notation, which gives no clue on timing and rhythm.

This "author" doesn't exist, and has "written" the exact same "book" for every instrument you've ever heard of, and many you haven't.

This book gives a lot of information about the history and walks you through each and every part of the instrument. I learned the names of each part of the instrument. It is a very good tool to learn this unique instrument.

“How to Play the Bagpipes for Beginners: The Ultimate Guide to Learning, Playing, and Becoming Proficient at the Instrument,” is probably a useful guide for beginner players as there is a lot of info on everything from techniques to caring for your instrument. I have no interest in learning how to play; but I’ve always liked bagpipes so I just wanted to know more about their history and how they developed—this book taught me that and more. Thumbs up!

Compared to the genuine bagpipe tutor books, this seemed lacking. I also ordered three other learn bagpipe books on amazon that were extraordinarily bad. Probably put together by people with no knowledge of practical piping, but have read a book on how to get rich quick by self publishing on Amazon. So I sent the lot back. This particular book was marginally better than the others, but I had lost patience by the time I got to it. If you want to learn the pipes the only real option is The College of Piping, The Highland bagpipe Tutor Book one which you cannot buy on Amazon.

Thank you
