Instrument & Textbook
For our beginners’ seminar for fans of medieval bagpipes, you will need your own bagpipe. The German Smallpipe or a comparable bagpipe in A minor/Doric at guitar volume is ideal. If you do not have your own instrument, we will be happy to provide you with a German smallpipe for a rental fee. By the way: If you like the instrument and would like to buy it from us, we will add the rental fee to the purchase price. For the theory and the individual exercises we need the Bagpipe Primer, Part 1. You can purchase this bagpipe book in our store or at the course.
