Why do bagpipes always play that same song 🫤 permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MadPsyentist@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) The song is called Scotland The Brave, unsure why its the mandatory song to play on bagpipes. Probably the only song they teach people to play 😝 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 months ago I just went down a bit of a rabbit hole on YouTube but I can confirm there are other songs that people play on bagpipes! 😆 Apparently it's a bit hard as there aren't that many notes and the nature of them means you have to play notes constantly so you can't use pauses, but there's still a lot they can do. There's Amazing Grace that you hear occasionally, but also stuff like: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hDw9IHmgN4s https://youtube.com/watch?v=-m0F-7e6ELM https://youtube.com/watch?v=7uqoJ1_spiQ permalink fedilink source parent
