WSP Online Solutions released iPiper yesterday, an iPhone app that allows you to play the highland bagpipes on your iPhone. It was released just in time to play Auld Lang Syne as the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve.
The app provides the ability to play nine of the notes on the bagpipe, along with the bagpipe drone sound. It also includes two sample tracks played by Murray Blair: Auld Lang Syne and Scotland the Brave, along with instructions and a brief history of the bagpipes.
It’s available on the App Store now for $.99 US ($1.19 AUD). More information is available from the iPiper website.

This app is fun and is for all who would love to play Amizing Grace on the buss…. sound is great and you play with your thumbs, so you dont have to know anything about piping to give it a try.
It is NOT for pipers…. the fingering is not emulating a real chanter. You can NOT play the real chanter fingering, and gracenotes must be left out, unless you have prety fast thumbs…. So if you download it as a piper, dont give it a bad review, as it is not ment for you anyway. It is a fun app,- they are working on a “real” chanter,- but not this one…..
