Practice Chanter

As for the Reels, there are many tempi to play a jig, ranged from about 120 to 136, according to the piper or his audience (dancers or listeners).
The tune is of course essential for choosing a beat.
That being said, tempi under 130 are often a good option to preserve all the musicality and the grace notes clarity.

The jigs submitted here - except for two included this one (117 bpm) that I like to play with Drops Of Brandy - follow 122 BPM for being played together during my show: that is of course only an indicative beat, as a working base.

So Welcome the piper!
