I have purchased some Bagpipes off Ebay and i cant seem to get the reeds in right. Does anyone out there know how to set up bagpipes as it's my ambition to play 'Living on a Prayer' by Bonjovi by Xmas.

Regards,

Ps I am serious - i am having problems with my bagpipes.

Do you know your way around bagpipes well then Contractor, sweetie?

If the reeds don't fit try some grass.

I did hear that Moses had the same problem....He cured it by opening up the Red Sea for the Israilites

...... or was that another story... Wish ROB was about so I could have one of his Viagra and get a good sleep!

Look - you're not taking me seriously - how would you like it if your tooter wasnt working?

Our apologies ZS - there can be nothing worse than a problem with your tooter.

Is a chanter a Jockinese word for a chunder, btw?

Or do I mean Teuchter

If me old mate, Jimmy Shand is still around, maybe it`s on one of his albums. His "band" seem to have "covered" most things, unfortunately

Well if you are being serious then either A) Go and learn from someone that knows or B) Go to a Instrument selling shop and ask them ... This is one occasion that the net is a stupid place to ask for that kind of advice, like learning how to drive, you just got to get on with it and do it ...

And if your not serious then what a stupid thing to waste yer money

Carefully unstitch the bagpipes making sure to follow the seam so you can stitch it up again without it being noticed.

Insert a fully grown Tomcat with a lengh of strong nylon string attached to it's Knackers into the bagpipe. (My preference is for a good old ginger tom they seem to be the loudest) Feed the string up a chanter. Re-stitch the bagpipes carefully.

Get the bagpipes into the playing postion with the string attached to your right foot. (the string must repeat must be taunt) Sqeeze bagpipes and start tapping you foot in time with the music and hey Presto! Instant bagpipe music. By varying the amount you pull the string some quite authentic bagpipe noises will be emitted.

You must insure that no one notices the string otherwise the RSPCA will AVE YER!

Thank you very much for your assistance - Loz the web site was very helpful. I have at least one drone working now!

I did call up a couple of music shops in Hereford and they started laughing. Pouts - why arent i taken seriously????

Anyhow. I may buy some more reeds as i thinks it's them which are dodgy - rather than my technique.
