SäckpipaKeys - Swedish Bagpipes Keyboard for the iPhone/iPod Touch

SäckpipaKeys is an authentic sounding set of D/G Swedish Bagpipes (Säckpipa) in the form of a keyboard.

How to Play:

Touch any key to start the chanter playing. Once started, the chanter plays continuously just like a real Säckpipa.

Play a melody on the chanter by touching the keys.

Touch the drone image to switch the drone on and off. The drone lights up in red when playing.

Stopping the drone also stops the chanter sound.

The volume balance between the drone and chanter may be adjusted on the settings page (touch the 'i' icon at the upper left).

Audio samples provided by Jonathan Parker from a D/G Säckpipa, made in 1986 by Leif Eriksson.

The instrument images are from an Säckpipa built by Seth Hamon.
