@segano1 I make uilleann pipes, you're off on the origins. They came directly from "pastoral pipes" which arose immediately after the baroque Oboe. Uilleann's were gentlemens' instruments that cost a year's wages for a laborer in the 1700's and 1800's when Scottish pipes were still primitive. Want to see the main bass drone bore proportions of a WW1 Henderson Scottish pipes? 1850's uilleann pipes. Scotland is important to the uilleann pipes but in a different way than you think.

Tunes: Rab's Wedding / John D. Burgess. Dance set: Highland Laddie march on/off, dance tune "Marquis of Huntley's" for the Highland Fling. Exit first tune I'm too old to know, last tune is "Jenny Dang the Weaver." While I hate the stratosphere pitch of the recent decades (I have either perfect pitch or close enough and I imprinted on years-years-ago below-b-flat), still this band has great sound.

Sorry for the delayed replies. The tartan is the Cameron of Erracht tartan that comes from the pre-almagation of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders with the Seaforths. Only the bands keep the old regimental tartans since the regiment went to the Government tartan (Black Watch tartan). The pipes are tuned to the key of B (Not sure if sharp, flat or just B) which is why there is the drone there. Most instruments are tuned to C. That is why horses love being near pipes.

@MrCddlbunny sorry that is band not bank. Helps to read what is written before posting and making one like a dictionary is not nearby.

[MrCddlbunny]

@segano1 The bapipes are the only instrument that is tuned in the key of B which is why the drone is present. All other instruments are tuned in the key of C.

@24michiganironbrigad The tarton worn by the bank is not that of the Gordons. It is actually the Cameron tartan known as the Camerson of Erracht tartan.

@MrBeefaroo I think you mean 'Scottish Bagpipes', as that's a Scottish instrument, no other imitation looks or sounds like the Scottish instruments.

A flute is not a Bagpipe.
