Strobe Tuning a Bagpipes
Standard Great Highland bagpipe tuning consists of a bass drone and two tenor drones all tuned to the note A, and a chanter tuned to a scale with a flattened seventh degree, which is unique to Highland bagpipes. Concert A pitch for Highland bagpipes is much higher than other instruments and varies between 475 and 485 Hz.
Uilleann pipes are tuned to a pure just intonation scale in the key of D, with a bass, baritone and tenor drone all tuned to D, as well as a set of assignable regulators and a chanter tuned to a justly-intoned D scale. Concert A pitch for Uilleann pipes is usually 440 Hz.
When groups of bagpipes are played together, as is traditional in pipe band circles, Peterson’s preset Sweetened bagpipe tuning settings are essential. Peterson counts many Grade 1 pipe bands among its users, including the Strathclyde Police, Inveraray & District, the Bagad Cap Caval Pipe Band and the City of Chicago Pipe Band, so you’ll be in good company!
