Hey! My nn is Bubba. I have had my pipes since January. And my chanter since the end of August. I am only 10, there for I have some questions. The first one is: I have a problem with the note high A. In all my tunes It sounds like a mean old bird. Any suggestions? Thanks,
Bubba

Hi, Bubba
I sent a reply to your message in Bagpipeboy's message center. rather than type it over you can go there and read it.
Good Luck to you,

Hey there, usually high A and G are the arses of the whole bunch. Get some black electric tape and cover about half of the high A hole (Thumb hole) that'll tune it up a bit and just keep moving the tape to cover more and more of the hole until it sounds like it fits.

Hey, Bubba, where did you go. Anxious to hear how you are doing these days. Sound like a real bright up and coming kid.
