Bagpipes anyone?


Went to a memorial service yesterday...during which live bagpipes were played. Like any live music one hasn't heard in awhile, I am moved to snag a recording of a master of this instrument. Any suggestions?

I don't have any bagpipe recordings, but I saw this post and immediately thought of times that I heard them live. They are LOUD and complex. Their sound of even a small group seems to come at you from all directions, even if you are outdoors. So my thoughts were--this is going to be really hard to reproduce correctly. I'm now interested in getting a really good techinically recorded piece (if such exists) and seeing how it will work as demostration material. I have to agree though--I don't think listening to bagpipe recordings will be something I'll spend a lot of time doing.
