The nine notes that can be played on the bagpipes?

Answer 1

G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, High A They are not concert potch though, the c and f are actually implied to be sharp, so it is basically tuned to a mixolydian scale The a on the bagpipe is not a-440. It is actually slightly sharper than b flat.

Answer 2

A bagpipe can only play 9 notes, starting from the G above middle C up to A.

The bagpipe scale includes two implied sharp notes: C and F. So, in conventional musical language and notation the scale of the Great Highland bagpipe would read G, A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A. If the G were sharp, this would be an A-Major scale, but as it is, it's called a Mixolydian Mode, although the seventh note differs slightly.

The drones are set to A. The two treble drones are set to an octave lower than the low A on the chanter. The bass drone is tuned two octaves below the low A on the chanter. (The bass drone is the longest drone nearest the piper.)

In order for the Bagpipes to be played with other conventional instruments, they must be especially tuned or be played using a concert chanter.

• Step 2

  Adjust the tone on the bass drone so that it is tuned two octaves below the low A on the chanter. The bass drone is the one nearest the piper. Leave a little bit of the hemp thread showing. Adjust the bottom joint of the bass drone on the bagpipe to change the pitch.
