DO NOT BUY THIS CD!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bagpipe Funeral Music (MP3 Download)
I repeat, do NOT buy this CD! The recording is not an actual person playing a bagpipe. It is an electronic recreation, probably played in a computer. Amazon's rating system forced me to give it at least one star--If I could've I would've given it negative 5!
I have been piping for over 20 years, and I've never heard such crap! I have no financial stake in having you not buy this cd, I just want you to have an authentic bagpipe. I've contacted Amazon to tell them it's a bogus product, and to have it removed from their inventory, but they do not respond. Buy something by Alasdair Gillies, Willie McCallum, Roddy MacLeod, Jack Lee, Bill Livingstone, Michael Grey, Bruce Gandy, or John Cairns instead.

Awful,
By mathyou9 (UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bagpipe Funeral Music (Audio CD)
I've only listened to the Amazon.com-provided samples. Holy crap! The sound is so awful; I could barely get through even the short samples (and I'm not even a piper [...yet.] How on earth does this CD get so many rave reviews? I can only guess that the 5-star reviews are shill reviews.
As for the "performances," the individual bagpipe notes seem to be authentic sample recordings, much akin to piano notes sampled for keys on a digital piano. Simply feed/play the proper notes and you'll have an authentic-sounding bagpipe, right? WRONG! Since the bagpipe chanter is monophonic, mimicking bagpipes in this manner does not work the same as a digital piano. These reproductions are just too artificial-sounding.

Are They Kidding?!,
By Ozzy (xcp nyc) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bagpipe Funeral Music (Audio CD)
Just going by the song samples of this crappily electronically recreated sound of bagpipes crap, I implore you to not buy this. Listen to other recordings of the real thing. Try the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, for instance. That'll bring your blood up instead of making you cringe. Beware of this guys other stuff too, I'm thinkin'.
