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 encourages the bag to sit at a slightly elevated angle, positioning the hands closer to the player’s centreline. The result is reduced physical strain, improved hand alignment, and more natural finger movement.Unlike traditional bags with extended blowpipes that can push the chanter further away from the body, the Ergo2 supports a closer and more balanced playing posture.Designed specifically for use with the Blair Digital Chanter, the Ergo2 provides a fully integrated plug and play digital bagpipe solution.Technical SpecificationsBody Material: Carbon fibre textured ABSNon slip arm and body grips x2Stock Material: Machined and anodised stainless steel with 360 degree XYZ rotationLED status indicators for power, arm sensor activation, and chargingDedicated headphone output with individual volume controlAudio OutputsSix audio outputs, three stereo3.5 mm stereo headphone output3.5 mm stereo line outputQuarter inch right mono outputQuarter inch left stereo outputConnectivityUSB C for MIDI interface, firmware updates, and chargingPowerRechargeable lithium batteryCharging via USB C portPressure SensorUnderarm momentary activation sensorPlease note: The Blair Digital Chanter is not included and must be purchased separately.
