A concise yet comprehensive piping tutor book by top piper / teacher Robert Wallace for those who wish to play the great Highland Bagpipe.

Each of the 20 lessons concentrates on a different aspect of bagpipe fingeringwork, with exercises designed to improve dexterity and to develop technique, with suggested metronome timings for their practice.
