Fingering a Hi A or simply having no fingers on the chanter will place the unit in the default key of “ b-flat ”. Runs on one 9V battery (not included). The notes are played in a very realistic manner, by covering electronic touch sensors, positioned to exactly match the finger spacing of a regular pipe chanter.

  • Electronic bagpipes

    I've always wanted to try electric bagpipes after being a piper for many years. This unit is just plain fun to use, took very effort little to get used to it, and I love that I can now practice in silence with headphones, or play through the small built in speaker with others and also through an amplifier if I want as well! It can be tuned to other tunings easily which is great for playing with a group. It's sound is notably digital sounding but that's to be expected. It's still fun to play around with regardless.

  • Great product and can be played anywhere

    I have played mine a good bit; the quality is good and it sounds good. I play it with a headset and as such I can play at home anytime I like. The fingering is good and it is easy to play; my right hand is injured and I find it easier to play these electronic pipes than my collection of chanters or GHBPs. Too, you can bring up the drones as well so you did get the full effect. At any rate, I enjoy the device and I do recommend it.

  • good quality, easy to operate

    The E Pipe allows me to practice much longer than my regular chanter. Very easy to operate. Really enjoy it. Will have to be careful to use the regular chanter just to keep the facial muscles strong

  • Very cool instrument !!

    Great fun and the learning curve is not that steep. I play bass, piano, and guitar but could never grasp the concept of woodwind or brass instruments. This neat instrument has opened up some pretty cool doors for me musically. It only takes one 9 volt battery. I do wish that there was a way to use a plug in adapter so I didn't have to go through so many 9 volts. As with learning anything new you must be patient. It's lightweight and quite comfortable to play. Programming what key you want to play in is simple. I actually prefer the knob volume over push button volume. Gives you more control. I plugged it into an effects unit and then into an amp and got some really awesome results. Delay with some phaser, chorus, flange, etc. is really fun. This instrument is super fun and opens tons of musical possibilities.

  • Adds hours of quality practice!

    I live in a studio apartment so playing a regular practice chanter is difficult because of the noise. In order to be more courteous to my neighbors, I purchased this and I recommend it highly. The sound is very good and so is the volume control. I can plug in my headphones and play at all hours of the day, and I don't have to worry about bothering anybody. This is a very good way to add hours of practice to your day, and at a fantastic price!

  • Awesome product

    bought this for my husband and he hasn't stopped practicing since. It is great for myself and our dogs too as it means that he can sit with us without disturbing us. One very happy family all round. Husband took it to his band practice, verdict was it was a leveller, every crossing note was easily audible.

  • I strongly suggest all interested in improving their bagpipe skills to purchase this! It's a wise investment!!!

    Was a little confusing when I first read the instruction manual, but after a few days, it was totally understandable! I had no idea this thing can change key signatures at a fingering of a note when first turned on! Was very impressed with the technology put into this!!!

  • This has been amazing!

    This has been amazing! I got it to practice and see if bagpipes are something I want to invest in. I have had such a good time learning and playing.

  • Learning to play pipes

    The Ross pipe is very good for me because Ive lost a lot of feeling in my fingers and have great difficulty feeling and covering the chanter holes. I was about to give up learning the pipes. I don’t have that problem with the sensors on the Ross pipes. Im very happy and satisfied with this electronic pipe!

  • Digital Bagpipe

    This is a wonderful product to use during the times that I cannot practically use the pipes or practice chanter...such as when the baby is napping or I'm on break.
