In this video, I discuss the crucial role of the pipe bag in achieving optimal bagpipe ergonomics. I'll explain how pipe bag size and material impact playing comfort, posture, and tone quality. I'll compare the pros and cons of traditional leather bags versus modern synthetic bags, including innovations like Bannatyne's hybrid pipe bags, which combine the durability of synthetic materials with the feel of leather.

You will learn the importance of selecting the right bag size for your body type and playing style, and I will share my tips for choosing between small, extended small, and custom bags. I'll show you two new bag sizes, including the "Super Mini" for young or smaller pipers. Learn about moisture control systems and watch to the end to discover a special discount for viewers. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced piper, my video will help you find the perfect pipe bag for your needs.
