    I LOVE the sound of the pipes. I take a particular pleasure in the knowledge that their sound curdles the blood of many.

    I really love solo bagpipes, and pipes accompanying other instruments or singers, but massed pipe bands . . . not so much.

    Best regards,

    I like massed pipe bands when there's more then 8 bands (i.e. Loch Norman Games always has an incredible massed bands.) For those standing out of the center of 300+ pipers, it is loud. When you stand where I normally stand which is of course in the center and surrounded on all sides by pipers, it is enveloping.
    The sound of the drones almost holds you in a sense.
