Ergo2 Digital Pipe Bag is a professional electronic pipe bag designed to integrate seamlessly with the Blair Digital Chanter, forming a complete digital bagpipe system.Engineered for performance, the Ergo2 features six professional audio outputs, USB C connectivity, automatic on off pressure sensing, a dedicated amplified headphone output, and a fully adjustable swivel stock.

The digital chanter attaches via the mouthpiece port and connects using the integrated USB and audio connections. The system is firmware upgradable, allowing future feature enhancements.Ergonomic DesignThe body contour is shaped to replicate the natural indentation formed on a traditional pipe bag under arm pressure, enhanced with a sculpted ergonomic curve.

This allows you to practice fingering and blowing technique simultaneously, at the volume of your choice or via headphones. Air consumption can be adjusted by turning the valve ring of the sensor to create a realistic playing experience.Price for pressure sensor, valve ring and instruction only, without accessories

Fagerstroem Uilleann Bagpipe Technopipe: A Modern Twist on Traditional SoundsChanter Design:The Fagerstroem Uilleann Bagpipe Technopipe is an innovative electronic chanter, uniquely available in an Uilleann bagpipes version. It features the same finger spacing as the Great Highland Bagpipes Technopipe. Although it lacks keys on the chanter, a fully chromatic scale is achievable through cross-fingering techniques. This chanter allows players to toggle between Uilleann and a fully chromatic Great Highland Bagpipes fingering scale with ease, all utilizing authentic Uilleann sound samples.Advanced Contacts:The chanter employs electrical contacts rather than mechanical ones. These contacts, approximately 3mm in diameter, are slightly raised for easy location and do not require firm pressure, ensuring a comfortable playing experience. Notably, no electrical ground contact is needed during play.Intuitive Playing Experience:Starting the drones is as simple as playing a low D, and the chanter begins with an A. For droneless play, just start with an A. A discrete 'sound off' contact allows for immediate silence. The underarm bag-like switch facilitates octave changes, while the bottom sensor enables staccato playing and can be disabled if desired.Customizable Settings and Controls:This Technopipe is equipped with two contacts for adjusting various settings, including sensitivity, pitch, metronome, drones, scale, fingering, and volume. The chanter’s sensitivity accommodates varying finger conditions. Pitch adjustments range from 92Hz to 369Hz. The metronome is easy to set, and drone volume is always harmonized with the chanter key. Two chromatic scale options and two fingering styles are available. The chanter also boasts a recording feature capable of storing over 1200 notes.MIDI Compatibility:The Technopipe supports MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), allowing for seamless integration with electronic devices. MIDI mode is engaged through a specific fingering combination and MIDI cable connection. The chanter operates on channels 1 to 14, with bass and tenor fixed on channels 15 and 16, respectively. MIDI mode enhances the Technopipe’s versatility, offering pitch adjustments in semi-notes and variable note 'velocity' based on volume settings. The power consumption is lower in MIDI mode, ensuring prolonged use with a rechargeable 1000mAh NiMH battery.Compact and Portable:Measuring 249mm in length and 16mm in diameter, the Technopipe is remarkably portable. It mimics the size and contact spacing of a traditional pipe chanter while weighing approximately 60 grams.Additional Resources:The Technopipe comes with a comprehensive manual and fingering chart in PDF format. For a demonstration, check out the YouTube video by Michael Eskin showcasing the Technopipe’s capabilities.Experience the fusion of traditional Uilleann bagpipe sounds with modern technology – the Fagerstroem Uilleann Bagpipe Technopipe is a compact, versatile, and innovative instrument perfect for both enthusiasts and professional pipers.
