    I’m afraid that EHX actually announced the launch of that one on 1st April 2018.
    You are quite right: 2019 was a typo. No fooling you, eh?

    I found this about bagpipes keys and scales:

    http://www.campin.me.uk/Music/Modes/Modes-bagpipes.abc#:~:text=Pipe tunes frequently use pentatonic,(tunes%20ending%20on%20D).

    Which looks pretty clever, but at this point on a Friday night, a more sober head than mine will have to analyse it.

    From 1746 until 1996 they were defined as a military weapon and not a musical instrument :).
    Since then they've been covered under "war crime".

    I used to amuse myself by tuning an acoustic to EBEBBE. Made it easy to play drones and vaguely bagpipish melodies. Haven’t tried it for years… if I get time this weekend….

    Did Big Country not also use e-bows?

    Any such pedal will have to have a "skirl" control.

    Stuart Adamson used a EBow on a few Big Country songs over the years.
    Ive recently been trying to get the sounds on a few tracks with my EBow plus but still haven’t come anywhere near close to mastering what Stuart did.
    I’m also amazed how this topic has taken off with a life of its own Cool.

    Guthrie Govan used his AxeFX (or it might have been an FM9) to create the bagpipe effect for the Atriedes theme in Dune.
    This is neat, the soundtrack was rad.

    I wonder how many people wish they could play like Guthrie Govan ?
    IMO he’s one of the most outstanding players ever.
    I could watch him for hours on his fretless guitar.
    Always comes over as a really likeable guy in interviews I’ve seen.

    I wonder of that group, how many are willing to put in the same time and effort to practicing, and how many just lie to themselves about "talent".
