There must be a way for man and bagpipe to share the planet in peace, NB I am half-Scottish myself.
Und zo, the bagpipes that are of such a high frequency that only dogs can hear them. Pipers can practice in their own abodes and only glance out of the window to count how many dogs have both paws
over their ears to see how they are doing with their rendition* of Wonderwall.
Aficionados of bagpipe music merely need to buy headphones which shift the frequency down.
And so peace and harmony are restored to the world.
I fear the militarisation of BP's. Them flying things aren't called drones for nowt.
*not to be confused with extraordinary rendition.

Very nearly music...only 2 minutes 23 seconds but seems much longer... [not_morrison_rm, Aug 25 2014]

While being flown to a Turkish prison and having my
genitals be exposed to considerable potential
difference is not necessarily better than a bagpipe
rendition of Wonderwall, it's close. |
|
| |
Although [+] for use of the word "Nowt". |

//not to be confused with extraordinary rendition// |

I have experienced some truly extraordinary renditions, typically high school brass band or karaoke in Korea. |
|
| |
Those were truly gifted amateurs, I can't really include professionals such as the Portsmouth Sinphonia, who just do it for a giggle. C link/s. |
|
| |
Sounds more of a B#, actually ... |
|
| |
Shirley you mean ß there or ß (at this point you have to imagine that ASCII code 219 works on HB). |
|
| |
Ok, I give up, it's 1.27am and god knows I need my beauty sleep......(slumps onto keyboard...zzzzzz |
|
| |
An additional advantage: given the high pitch, the bagpipes themselves could be much smaller, the better to sneak into dog shows with. |
|
| |
Bagpipes that only dogs can play would seem a good match to this idea. |
|
| |
This does seem a little unfair on the dogs. |
|
| |
How about bagpipes that don't exist? |
|
| |
What's the difference between a trampoline and a
set of bagpipes? |
|
| |
You take you shoes off before you jump on a
trampoline. |
|
| |
Boots ... not shoes, boots ... |

| |
What's the difference between a Vespa scooter and a set of bagpipes
? |
|
| |
You can tune a Vespa scooter. |

//Bagpipes that only dogs can play would seem a good match to this idea |
|
| |
That's a good idea, as an angry dog will be torn between playing bagpipes and biting me. Unless you're talking a paws-free option? |
|
| |
Oh, yes, necessarily the BTODCH pipes are minuscule, and so easier to sneak past airport security. |
|
| |
//easier to sneak past airport security// |
|
| |
The idea of bagpipes in the confined environment of
an aircraft cabin is terrifying, should we anger and
restrict Scottish independence, there's is a very real
chance desperate separatists could deploy this for
real. |
|
| |
True, but only if you're a dog... |
|
| |
As a variation on "The Mosquito" anti-hoodie alarm systems, why not compositions only teenagers can hear? Lady Gaga never sounded better. |
|
| |
//Fishbone removable contingent on a version that only cats can hear// |
|
| |
Cats are deaf to every sound except a can opener. |
|
| |
now you want to expose dogs to bagpipes AND Lady
Gaga. What have you got against dogs? |
