Ceol Mor for the Highland Bagpipe (SECOND EDITION)

Introducing Ceol Mor for the Great Highland Bagpipe, by P/M James Haddow McIntosh, MBE.

This is a collection of history and teaching, and Jimmy’s original manuscripts of Ceol Mor, presented in the Balmoral Tradition, as taught by P/M John MacDonald, MBE; P/M R.U. Brown, MBE, and P/M R.B. Nicol.  The 140-page book includes the oral teaching lineage, the fundamentals of Piobaireachd, Piobaireachd embellishments, and a guide to good expression and performance, amongst many other topics.  The final section of the book contains 70+ piobaireachds, notated as closely as possible to how they were passed down from the Bobs of Balmoral, with lesson notes included for each tune.

There are NO NEW TUNES in the second edition, but there are many small corrections and updates from the first printing.
