Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 Hi Carol, I quite agree, ONE bagpiper sounds great. It's when you get about 20 of them playing at the same time and maybe 20 ft from where you're standing, that you just have to turn off the CI. Hearing folks were covering their ears. We have a pipe and drum squad with the Cleveland police, and they play at every Irish festival in the world, or at least Cleveland, which is the center of the world anyway. But one is beautiful to listen to. One standing on a hill far away is good, too. The Original Hi ! There was a bagpiper at my Uncle's Funeral yesterday. The sound is mournful and at the same time beautiful! I delighted in listening to him! We also had full military rites and between the gun salute, taps and the bagpiper--------it was quite a send off! I think how these things sound is all unique to the listener. Carol in WI Quote
