Electric pagpipes?

I own a set of Ross Electronic pipes. Very nice to practice with, not so great for plugging into an amplifier (I get feedback, which I frequently notice when I use it with headphones as well).

Sounds like there may be a problem with the amplifier in the unit. You might want to check with the manufacturer, as without a mic-speaker combination, unless the anti-oscillation feedback loop has gone bad (usually a high value resistor) or a design problem, an electronic amplifier won't self-oscillate (feedback sound)

In my mind electric pipes are only good for practicing. It's like setting up a drum machine and telling every one your a percussionist.

better not tell that to the bands that use them to allow them to avoid problems with changing pitch and to play tunes in different keys, with different pipe sounds...

The Redpipes allow me to transmit to a sound mixer, who can manage the levels of all the instruments on stage to a comfortable sound for the audience. We perform in some small halls that the Shepherds would simply blow everyone out of the building. The redpipes allow for the smaller hall gigs.

The Redpipes and the Shepherds appear very similar to the audience, so the transition from the Shepherds outside the building to the Redpipes inside the hall are rarely noticed.

The electronic pipes are essential when in a recording studio.
