Bagpipe
-------

Version 2026-08-06

Samples recorded on August 2020 by Gilles Sadowski, on a bagpipe in G designed by Rémy Dubois and built by Olle Geris. Sennheiser MKE2 Gold microphone and Audacity software on a GNU/Linux laptop. All recordings were done while standing at about 80 cm from the microphone.

This bagpipe has a range from F4 to G6 and 2 drones (the pipes which produce a constant background sound). The drones were recorded separatedly and can be played on the octaves 2 and 3. They are tuned to G in the original instrument, so G2 corresponds to the lower drone and G3 the higher one. Other notes in the octaves 2 and 3 will play the drones transposed.
