Plastic Swedish Bagpipe

www.SwedishBagpipes.com This is the first set of my Plastic cast Swedish bagpipes. After several months of preparation they are finally finished. Due to the density of the plastic, these pipes sound as well as pipes made from the most dense exotic hardwoods. I've already made a brown one that has more of a wood look. You may see it on my website in the near future. Cheers, Seth SwedishBagpipes.com

P.S. The recording was done on a digital camera. The sound quality of these pipes are excellent and must be heard in person to get the full affect.

They sound very nice, beeing plastic!

Are the reeds plastic as well or do you use Cane in these?

They sound quite exactly like all wooden sackpipas i heared.

Your right, I can't tell the difference between the wooden pipes and the plastic pipes, they sound the same. Plastic is about as dense as any exotic hardwood and it produces nice tonal qualities. Swedish pipes made from less dense woods such as birch or cherry sound a bit more buzzy than the hard woods or the plastic.

Since this recording was done on a digital camera, its best heard at half volume. I hope to get some recordings done in the near future with some professional equipment so the wonderful tonal quality of these pipes can be heard closer to its true form.
