Title: Awful
Review: I've only listened to the Amazon.com-provided samples. Holy crap! The sound is so awful; I could barely get through even the short samples (and I'm not even a piper [...yet.] How on earth does this CD get so many rave reviews? I can only guess that the 5-star reviews are shill reviews.As for the "performances," the individual bagpipe notes seem to be authentic sample recordings, much akin to piano notes sampled for keys on a digital piano. Simply feed/play the proper notes and you'll have an authentic-sounding bagpipe, right? WRONG! Since the bagpipe chanter is monophonic, mimicking bagpipes in this manner does not work the same as a digital piano.These reproductions are just too artificial-sounding.
Is the review positive or negative?
