warpipes?

warpipes? Video Clips. Duration : 1.13 Mins.


I was cleaning out my storage shed today and found one of those plastic horns you get at baseball games. I painted it gold and added to my home-made bagpipes to make a kind of warpipes. The pipes are made from a Pakistani bag I got from Ebay. I closed off two of the drone stocks with wooden plugs and hose clamps. The blow pipe uses a spare valve from my inflatable kayak. The chanter is a practice chanter with a PC reed. I drilled an extra hole at the top of the PC so I can play it like a recorder. The single drone is made by running a PC reed into a two foot length of copper tunbing that is run through a tenor drone and the original blow pipe then to the plastic horn. I'm totally self taught so please excuse any goofs. I also apologize for the poor quality of the video and sound, due to my cheap five year old cell phone.
