Where can I get myself a didgerido and a set of bagpipes?

The bagpipes can be found in P 5.

The didgeridoo can be found in the sutler's wagon south of Shard, near Corik's wall.

And as ENOTS said, the bagpipes can be found in P5 - Drums & Drones, the music shop in Hibarnhvidar.

It still amazes me that people can ask, "Where can I get bagpipes?" and get an answer!

Bagpipes are also available in the bard shop at the Theren theater.

I didn't realize that, Vae. I haven't been up there since it opened.

I'll have to check it out.

I believe the Theren pipes are identical to the ones in Hibarnvidar except that the LOOK on the Hib ones shows 'masterfully-crafted bagpipes' while the Theren versions are just 'bagpipes.' I haven't played around with their difficulties at all, so there could be some kind of functional difference there I'm not a aware of.

Anyone know how difficult the bagpipes and didgeridoo are to play?

They're both pretty difficult. The didjeridu was the most difficult wind instrument to play for a long time, although I believe bagpipes took that honor when they were released.

To get an idea, in Plat with 400ish winds and 500ish theory, I can play a minuet on the bagpipes or the didjeridu with a slight hint of difficulty. I have no idea what the low end to sound decent is, but you could probably play them badly for a very long time if you wanted.

When I tested out the new concertina, I found it to be just as hard as the bagpipes, but it appraised higher and weighed less than the bags, so I found my new favorite. But bagpipes sure do look cool.

I just play bagpipes to watch Useff put in his ear plugs. :-)

Only problem I've found with the concertina is it doesn't fit into my instrument case, so I remain a piper for now.

This is why we are never in the same province, anymore.

Q. How can you tell if a bagpipe is out of tune?
A. Someone is blowing into it.

And furthermore...

Q. What's the definition of a gentleman?
A. Someone who knows how to play the bagpipe and doesn't.

Should be illegal!

I was able to play off-key scales with slight difficulty on the bagpipes with about 200 winds as a non-Bard when they first came out. I haven't tried them again since I got more skill. Maybe I'll pull em out of the vault and give it another go.

Off-key should be the only song option for bagpipes!

>play ditty
You begin a off-key jig on your bagpipes with only the slightest hint of difficulty.

>stop play
You stop playing your song.

I was informed that I remembered incorrectly where this was sold. It's available in Horse Clan, not the sutler's wagon. Sorry for the misinformation!
