@cyberia PLEASE tell me about how gearlust works with bagpipes I know instruments are rarely a one-and-done deal but I have no knowledge of why you would need multiple bagpipes

@cyberia reading this again maybe I've misinterpreted it and you only want one set of bagpipes

@spacefinner haha I only want one set of bagpipes... at a time

@spacefinner I already have some uilleann pipes but they're hard to play and I have kind of gone off irish music a bit, so I want some scottish smallpipes because holy shit the noises some people make on them...

@cyberia the drone has me thinking about the tambura and now I'm wondering if the pipes would be suitable for ragas

@spacefinner hm afaik raga scales have slides between notes as part of the scale, which bagpipes can't do so well so it'd be tricky. you could definitely tune a bagpipe to some kind of approximation of the scale though!

I'd love to see it
