Bagpipes being made

Tuition Materials

There are many different teaching methods on the market. At Kilberry, we have picked the ones we feel are reliable and prove good value for money. These range from the basic teaching systems to a very informative bagpipe CD-ROM. All of these items will help you to improve your piping skills. Kilberry has also produced a very informative book called 'Basic maintenance of the Scottish Bagpipe'. This is well worth buying as it covers such items as: taking delivery of new pipes, tuning drones, setting a pipe chanter, seasoning the bag, tying in loose stocks and so on.
