SäckpipaKeys - Swedish Bagpipes Keyboard

       iOS iPhone

SäckpipaKeys is an authentic sounding set of D/G Swedish Bagpipes (Säckpipa) in the form of a keyboard.

The Säckpipa is a simple mouth blown bagpipe with a single drone and a lovely, haunting sound. Check out the video on the website and you'll see exactly what I mean.

How to Play:

Touch any key to start the chanter playing. Once started, the chanter plays continuously just like a real Säckpipa.

Play a melody on the chanter by touching the keys.

Touch the drone image to switch the drone on and off. The drone lights up in red when playing.

Stopping the drone also stops the chanter sound.

The volume balance between the drone and chanter may be adjusted on the settings page (touch the 'i' icon at the upper left).

Playing Tip: To make your playing sound more authentic and for repeated notes, quickly slide from an adjacent black key to the note you are playing to simulate a piping "cut" ornament.

You may play along with the music on your iPhone/iPod Touch by starting the music track playing using the iPod app, then launching SäckpipaKeys. Double click the home button to bring up the iPod controls while the app is running.

Audio samples provided by Jonathan Parker from a D/G Säckpipa, made in 1986 by Leif Eriksson.

The instrument images are from an Säckpipa built by Seth Hamon.

Touch the Säckpipa image on the settings page to visit Seth's website at www.swedishbagpipes.com.
