9.1) Electronic bagpipes? Are you kidding?

Not at all. Electronic pipes have been around for several years now.

plastic) which is connected to a box containing the electronics. The chanter
usually operates via some type of sensor - either touch pads or embedded
sensors. The "electronic bagpipes" referred to here are all meant to simulate
the GHB. The author is unaware of any electronic versions of other pipes.
