### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hal Leonard’s easy to learn and play the bagpipes
*by C***E on September 12, 2025*

All of Hal Leonard’s books are excellent on any instrument! This bagpipe books explains in easy detail on playing the bagpipes. A must for learning the pipes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ UPDATE - bought the Kindle version and the videos aren't accessible
*by J***T on January 15, 2020*

UPDATE: You can read my first impressions below. But after being a bit frustrated, I Googled to find Hal Leonard's company. I sent them an email explaining my issue with the Kindle version not having the videos because there was no CD/DVD and they had not made that clear in the description of the Kindle book. They were kind enough to respond and sent me links to a website that had the videos. This made the Kindle book useful again. I still think they should note that in the book description or update it with the online video links but the methodology and the instruction is first rate and deserves a 5-star rating - I'm dinging it one for making you hunt for the videos online. But now you know and can get them too. ORIGINAL IMPRESSIONS: I bought the Kindle version of this book so I could take it everywhere I went. Unfortunately a great deal of the instructional value is from the videos referred to in the book. In hard copy there's a CD/DVD that accompanies this. Perhaps on a Kindle device those videos will play, but using the Kindle App (Android or PC versions) I get a note where the video link must be that the "audio content at this location that is not currently supported for your device." Frankly, if a PC can't play that, the book is essentially useless. Not sure I want to buy a Kindle just to see if it works. I gave this 2 starts because the text seems very well done and the overall approach seems good. Just too bad I can't do anything much with it. Back to the Green Book for me :-(
