In time for Burns night, MusicThing compares 3 MIDI bagpipes. The DegerPipes are the set I recall seeing in a shop window in Inverness a few years ago.

Artefact seen in window of music shop in the Scottish Highlands:

It looks to be what amounts to an all-electronic set of bagpipes, i.e., a breath controller and synthesizer unit, which adds in user-adjustable drones. Apparently it's of German manufacture, has been around for some years, and is intended for people needing to quietly practice the bagpipes. Not surprisingly, the main market would be in the highlands.

Apparently, it does MIDI, and if you run it through an amp, it sounds quite realistic. Is anybody else wondering what it would sound like through some effects pedals?
