Default How in the hell do you mic a bagpipe???


???


Why would you need to?

Why would you want to?

Have the piper stand in the street ,close the studio door, lock the studio
door.

Seriously--

The last one I recorded was 108 dB at the piper's ear.

What you need to do is plug one ear, ( it's tempting to plug both) and find the
place where the sound balances between the drones and the chanter. Put the
microphone there and hit record.

Ideally the pipes (The big Highland ones) are an outdoor instrument, and sound
better there.
