We absolutely love this energy! So glad the craftsmanship impressed you, but yes… that color though! And don’t worry about the “when I get good enough” part. Every great player starts exactly where you are. Keep playing, keep enjoying it, and when you do bring it to those sessions, you’re going to have both the sound and the style to match.

I was lost for words when I opened this book.

As a piper taught by the legendary Pipe-Major Donald MacLeod, I have seen a number of piping books over the past 70 years. While all have helped me in different ways, none has inspired me to begin writing my own compositions, as has Ceol Beag (vol.1) by Lincoln Hilton.

This book has everything: from a list of ‘unorthodox movements’, to a collection of innovative tunes that provoke, stimulate and boggle the mind.

Who would have thought of writing a tune by eliminating the first note of an original melody and commencing the ‘new’ version by making the second note the base of the new tune? Startling, to say the least.

Since receiving a copy of this book from my wife Jane, for my 81st birthday recently, I have written a number of my own compositions. These include a tune in mazurka time for my younger grand-son, who has Polish heritage.

I have also begun modifying some of the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss and Vivaldi for the highland bagpipe. This idea works even better on my Blair digital bagpipes, where I have access to different keys and modes.

And I was impressed by Lincoln’s embrace of relatively unused bagpipe notes such as C natural and F natural, which many pipers are either not aware of or have overlooked in their playing.

To me, this book is the Bohemian Rhapsody of bagpipe music books and one which I will treasure for the rest of my days. Thank you Jane and thank you Lincoln.

Wow. We are truly moved reading this. To hear that Ceol Beag – Volume 1 has sparked new compositions after 70 years of piping, and from someone taught by Pipe Major Donald MacLeod, is an incredible honour. The fact that it inspired you to write is simply extraordinary. This is exactly why the book was created. To provoke, to stretch, to open doors that perhaps felt closed.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us, and please thank Jane for the beautiful gift. What a way to celebrate an 81st birthday. We are honoured to be part of your musical story. Keep composing, keep exploring, and keep inspiring us right back. 😊

Great weight fun colors, just took a while to arrive.

Thank you as well for your patience with the delivery. We truly appreciate you sticking with us, and we hope it was well worth the wait. Happy piping! 😊

Thank you!

You’re very welcome! Happy playing and exploring every tune 😊
