“I got into one of the Scottish classical styles called piobaireachd, which is a very old music that started around the 1700s or something. I really got into this music. After that, I started to compose bagpipe music in my notations. Then I started building bagpipes by myself, and then I started to perform with the instrument myself in the 1980s.” StyleBuildingInstrumentsScottishOld MusicBagpipes Author:Yoshi Wada
“Scottish bagpipe has two tenors and one bass - three drone pipes - and then the one chanter. If you put bagpipes together, it creates such a fine sound.” IfsTwoTogetherThreeSoundFineBassPipeScottishDronesTenorsBagpipes Author:Yoshi Wada
“Initially, when I was making the bagpipes and reed instruments, it was different from the other instruments. In terms of sound itself, it may not be different, but in performing with it, it was a necessity to build it if I was going to perform and make scores with it. By making the instruments, it helped me compose the way I want.” IfsWayWantMayDifferentSoundTermInstrumentsPerformingScoreReedsBagpipes Author:Yoshi Wada
