I was just curious if any Guild members play the bagpipes. If so, what type, what band, do you go to camp for it (Like me)?

I play McCallum pipes, chanter, with plastic bag (also McCallum), Mc. reeds. I'm in the Tallahassee Pipe Band. I do go to camp.

I do not play myself, but several friends and acquaintances can play, mostly those in the Boys' Brigade.
My school has a nice little pipe band, too...

My father picked up the pipes a few years ago. I'm not sure what brands he uses, but it's not like it matters much. He hasn't advanced very far, mostly from lack of practice (thankfully, my mother and sister would say).

I, myself, have a tin whistle and have been known to whip it out for a diddy or two on occasion.

Well, lets see.
We had a 'druid' who performed some crazy water ritual with the nearby stream.

Does Synthesised Bagpipe Count?

What type of synthesized bagpipe?
Do you play any tunes on it

General Question- What is your favorite tune???

I think he's kidding.

That, or he's into bagpipe metal, which could either be really really really really good, or somewhat akin to a room full of Vietnamese people having their intestines forcefully pulled out of their mouths.

Anyway, I like bagpipes, but do not partake myself.

Redundant statement?

My Korg T2 synth has a good bagpipe sound. It's fun to play with sometimes. I like that "Minstrel boy to the war has gone" tune, but I don't think that's the real title. Amazing Grace is nice as well.

Minstrel Boy is the name I usually hear

I don't personally, but my cousin just played at my sister's wedding yesterday. She's really quite good.
