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

The last time I recorded a full size bagpipe I put a U87 about 4 feet behind
the player. It took the edge off the sound and worked quite nicely. The smaller
Uiliean (sp?) ones can be miked frontally prett well, but off axis and at least
4-6 feet away.
