Not me personally, but my father and uncle play. My aunt used to as well, but she probably hasn't picked up the pipes in years.

I learned the chanter, but had to stop just as I moved onto the pipes because I got pregnant. Never got back to it. Still have the pipes here, though.

I played bagpipes for about four or five years but I quit sometime in highschool, and I don't really have the space since. how long have you been playing?

Good God, when I was in the dorms in college, there was some maniac who practiced their bagpipes right outside our window. Those suckers are loud and awful.

I'm not surprised in the slightest.

I like my Celtic bagpipe music of the Spanish variety, but yeah ++bagpipes.

Not a piper but I do like them...in moderation. I am a madrigal singer in a group that does Renfests, holiday events and so forth so I'm not above enjoying some pipes on occasion.

Me too. It makes me think of this one time I was in Key West and there was a bagpiper that none of the tourists liked. People would basically pay him to go play his bagpipe somewhere else. He got no love whatsoever. He was the loneliest bagpiper ever.

Walfin ... was that you?
