Charlie's Awesome Bagpipes



This is me playing my bagpipes. I played for you Brown Head Maiden. The bagpipes you might think they're from Scotland but they're from the Middle East.

I have been learning the bagpipes for one year and a half. I first started playing on the chanter but then I got good enough to go up to a higher level which is the bagpipes. You need to make sure you don't have a hole at the bottom of your bag or spit will drip out.

Piping fingers helps you to text faster and type faster. When I am blowing really fast my eyes tingle at the speed of light.

Aaaah. Sunday morning. Waking up my brothers at five o'clock in the morning.

I love playing the bagpipes. My pipes teacher says I could earn a lot of money busking!

    Well done Maxwell. The bagpipes are an awesome instrument. I wonder if you are in the Pipe Band and if we will see you in a street march?

    I loved how you explained all about the bagpipes and the way that you learnt how to play them.

    You were very entertaining.

    Everyone was very impressed with you. Mr Avery thought that you had great skills.

    Wow! Charlie - you have caught me by surprise... I was sure the bagpipes came from Scotland... Crikey, tell me... why do locals here run around in kilts blowing bagpipes, then? Dunedin is known as the Edinburgh of the south...

    By the way, that is some awesome bagpipe playing!

    Dear Charlie,

    I thoroughly enjoyed your bagpipe playing! It is a beautiful instrument with a unique sound.

    You mentioned that the bagpipe is from the Middle East. I didn't know that. I always thought they were from Scotland. I did a little research and learned that today, Scotland and Pakistan produce the most bagpipes for sale. Interesting!

    My husband would like to learn how to play the bagpipe. How should you choose a bagpipe that is right for you? Do they come in different sizes?

    Thanks, again, Charlie!

    Your friend,
