Hello.
I noticed that the "List of missing instruments" page mentions "bagpipe";
since I own one, I thought I could try and follow some guide in order to
create the necessary files.
Some issues come to mind concerning bagpipes. First, it's not a single
instrument: There are many of them, with one, two, three, ... drones with
varying tuning (octaves, fifths, ...), with varying fundamentals. Then, it's
not chromatic: The drone plays continuously, by definition. Finally, it's not
well-tempered, and some notes can be missing.
With all the caveat, would you be interested in a sound font from samples
produced by a bagpipe in G, with 2 drones (playing G in octaves)?
Regards,
Gilles
