I've always wanted to try electric bagpipes after being a piper for many years. This unit is just plain fun to use, took very effort little to get used to it, and I love that I can now practice in silence with headphones, or play through the small built in speaker with others and also through an amplifier if I want as well! It can be tuned to other tunings easily which is great for playing with a group. It's sound is notably digital sounding but that's to be expected. It's still fun to play around with regardless.

I have played mine a good bit; the quality is good and it sounds good. I play it with a headset and as such I can play at home anytime I like. The fingering is good and it is easy to play; my right hand is injured and I find it easier to play these electronic pipes than my collection of chanters or GHBPs. Too, you can bring up the drones as well so you did get the full effect. At any rate, I enjoy the device and I do recommend it.

The E Pipe allows me to practice much longer than my regular chanter. Very easy to operate. Really enjoy it. Will have to be careful to use the regular chanter just to keep the facial muscles strong

Great fun and the learning curve is not that steep. I play bass, piano, and guitar but could never grasp the concept of woodwind or brass instruments. This neat instrument has opened up some pretty cool doors for me musically. It only takes one 9 volt battery. I do wish that there was a way to use a plug in adapter so I didn't have to go through so many 9 volts. As with learning anything new you must be patient. It's lightweight and quite comfortable to play. Programming what key you want to play in is simple. I actually prefer the knob volume over push button volume. Gives you more control. I plugged it into an effects unit and then into an amp and got some really awesome results. Delay with some phaser, chorus, flange, etc. is really fun. This instrument is super fun and opens tons of musical possibilities.Read full review

I live in a studio apartment so playing a regular practice chanter is difficult because of the noise. In order to be more courteous to my neighbors, I purchased this and I recommend it highly. The sound is very good and so is the volume control. I can plug in my headphones and play at all hours of the day, and I don't have to worry about bothering anybody. This is a very good way to add hours of practice to your day, and at a fantastic price!
