A set of bagpipes is constructed with a sliding chanter like a swannee whistle.
Since this only requires one hand to operate, the other hand can be free to operate a lever that slides the swanee attachment on all three drones at once.
A thumb hole is provided to allow cuts to disguise the pitch
shift if desired by the piper; alternatively a continuous swooping style can be used.
The drones lever can also be connected to a kilt winch (q.v.) for visual delight

You have deduced a method to make the pipes even more unplayable... |
|
|
I wonder if there is scope to somehow electrify the whole shebang and add a wah-wah pedal? |
|
|
Really. Even the thought of this is hurting my ears. |
|
|
So, let me see if I can make myself a little mental picture
here.... |
|
|
I'm seeing a lone man, on a windswept hilltop....
OK. |
|
|
He's wearing some sort of tartan skirt....
Yeeeee....ssss. |
|
|
He's blowing into what appears to be a dead sheep...
Having some doubts now. |
|
|
...whilst sliding his hand rapidly up and down a long....
OK - ENOUGH!! [-] |
|

you are sick, MB, you know that don't you? |
|
|
[bliss] my shrinks would take issue with you on that one. |

And after that, they'd find a way to stop it making that noise. |

Wah-Wah: can surely be added using some kind of box with adjustable louvres? Perhaps if the chanter is placed -beneath- the kilt, then the kilt winch (q.v.) can provide the wah-wah effect? |
|
|
Electrify it: Do you not think the sight and sound of this device is already electrifying? |
|
|
You have deduced a method to make the pipes even more unlistenable |
|
|
An excellent idea, pocmloc. Making the unlistenable unplayable! |

//drones lever can also be connected to a kilt winch// I have
to attend a solemn ceremony today, dammit, and now you've
put that idea into my head. I shall have to bite the inside of
my cheek to suppress giggling. |
