ePipes take electronic bagpiping to the next level and integrates the worlds of piping and audio software. Focusing on quality of sound and variety of instruments, ePipes realise that only a software-based electronic bagpipe can produce these at an affordable price. In order to to let every piper in the world with a computer play Highland Pipes, Small Pipes, Border Pipes and Uilleann Pipes, without having to spend a small fortune and learn whole new instruments, we have created Studio Piper. This is only the first of many sampled virtual instruments from ePipes. In the pipeline we have Northumbrian Pipes, a range of classic Highland Pipes and even a whole Pipe Band! What would you like to play?
