Around these parts, folks'll pay you $125.00 to refrain from playing them. Even I can make a good living that way, as I don't play the pipes...but they needn't know that.

How do you define perfect pitch on the bagpipes? When you toss the bagpipes into the duck pond, spang into the middle of a circle of ducks, without disturbing a single one.

How do you tune the bagpipes? No one knows...its never been done.

Actually, I love the pipes, and have longed to learn to play them myself. However, my wife has told me I'd have to move...to outer space.

In space, no one can hear you play "Amazing Grace".
