[Andrew Fredricks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitive work on the subject.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit out of date and a bit too technical for us beginner pipers, but I enjoyed parts of it.

[Donald Scoby · Rating 4 out of 5]

In my opinion every Highland bagpiper should read this book at least once -- probably own a copy to be able to conveniently refer to it.
