Dear Webmaster, I have recently come across a free teach yourself bagpipes site. It is a complete school, from zero to intermediate level tunes, with mp3 examples, exercises and very clear and simple instructions arranged in short chapters: http://www.teachyourselfbagpipes.co.uk It is set up and led by Lindsay Davidosn, PhD, who is from Scotland but lives mainly in Poland. It is an aim of the site many people who for whatever reason find themselves with a practise chanter, not just there, but everywhere, will be able to succeed in learning to play. The belief is that should they stick with piping, all pipers, pipe bands and piping supply services will have something to gain - be it a sale of a bagpipe, music books, reeds, attendance at summer schools, CDs, band membership or one to one lessons. It is in this spirit that the site has been established and is being updated all the time, and it is with this in mind that I respectfully ask if you could possibly find a space on your site for a link. This is not trying to compete with commercial services, nor detract from them, but rather complement them by getting more people involved and developing the interest of those who already have chanters. They are not selling anything on this site nor trying to set up competition to anyone. Piping has for many years been taught free of charge, to its general benefit. This site is offered in that tradition. There is a links page for 'where to buy equipment', a 'where to find a pipe band' and a 'where to find a teacher' page. I am sure Lindsay Davidson would be delighted to add a link to you on any of these pages should you wish. Thank you very much for your time and attention. Yours,
