My thoughts are with you.

Enjoy!

There used to be a lone bagpiper practiced on the sands when the tide was low at Lytham. I think that is an excellent place.

Saucery · 17/05/2024 20:56

Does he just practice with the chanter at first?

ssd · 17/05/2024 20:57

Earplugs

Shall we pray for your neighbours as well?

FaeryRing · 17/05/2024 21:02

Praying for you, and anybody you share a party wall/road with.

Yes that's how they start - he's brought one home to practice with!

We live quite close to the beach - this is an excellent suggestion

Earplugs

I don’t think even the much coveted loop earplugs will fix this one

He must be sent to Bouvet Island immediately. It's the only way.

CrepuscularCritter · 17/05/2024 21:10

Those pipes are LOUD. (Like wrap the needles to the max when broadcasting.) Wonderful though.

Mummynextdoor · 17/05/2024 21:13

I feel that would be unfair on the wildlife!

My school band used to play pieces to accompany a piper (rural Scotland).

The experience of rehearsing in a PE hall with a concert band and piper mean I class it as an 'outside only' instrument - beach/forest/up a hill...

FrenchFancie · 17/05/2024 21:16

We should probably pray for your neighbours too…

wow that’s quite a club but actually really cool

AgentProvocateur · 17/05/2024 21:19

At least it’s not a violin 😉

Deipara · 17/05/2024 21:21

Lord God, gracious and merciful, we pray for @Mummynextdoor in her time of need. Lord, give her strength and patience; may her neighbours find joy in the sound of bagpipes. We ask that dear son of MND finds comfort and purpose through the gift of music. Failing that, Father Almighty, we pray you guide DS of MND towards a quieter hobby. In Jesus' name, Amen.

So true.

Surprised that the school can start such a club as bagpipes are not cheap.

Laiste · 17/05/2024 21:40

Ooh Christ!

I'm not religious but i'll pray for you!

DD4 is learning violin. It's not too bad. But the cat hates it sooooo much 😂
