Its all to do with careful fingering of appropriate holes and rhythmic breathing techniques,

blow up the bag, then use your arm to push the right amount of air through the reed in the pipe and use your fingers on the holes to make the tune like on a recorder.
love the sound of the pipes
We had a piper play the new year in on New Years Day
He played a lament

I remember the funeral of the Queen Mother with Charles and his sons walking behind the gun carriage to the sound of a piper playing "Oft in the stilly night" - I've never felt so moved by a piece of music before or since. |

I booked a piper to play at my fathers funeral, because it is what he would have wanted and it was excellent it helped my mother cope too for reasons to long to go into |

Hope the deceased loved the pipes! When I got married my ex mother in law arranged a piper for when we walked out of the church (no one told me) - and I hate the pipes!!!!!!!!!!! |

Magical it was.
And i had chance to entertain a few of the coldstream guards too.
