Has ';Flight of the Bumble Bee'; ever been attempted on the BagPipes?

I've heard it on the flute, the clarinet, the piano, the harmonica, a human whistling, an accordion, a saxophone, a trumpet and a trombone.








I understand that it'd be hard on bagpipes, but has anybody ever tried ?





and if not, why not ?Has ';Flight of the Bumble Bee'; ever been attempted on the BagPipes?
Absolutely no chance in hell. The bagpipes aren't a chromatic instrument. As far as I know they mostly play in mixolydian mode (so major scale with a flat 7th) plus they have a tiny range. Because of all the chromatic runs in flight of the bumble bee the instrument isn't physically able to play it.





Also hypothetically even if it were possible, the bagpipes are limited to only play in a few keys so the accompaniment would have to be transposed as well.





Who would want to hear it played on it anyway, they are terribly restrictive and horrible sounding instruments.Has ';Flight of the Bumble Bee'; ever been attempted on the BagPipes?
It's not really easy to do on the bagpipes. I've heard someone try Bohemian Rhapsody on the pipes and they were taken to hospital...you know when it gets quicker, thats when he collapsed.
Sir... You've just made it a personal mission for me to find/create a chromatic bagpipe and play this song!
not sure





but





here is a great version by James Last.

You wouldn't be able to blow that fast on the bagpipes. My ex-girlfriend would probably be great at it though..
I'm sure someone has tried, but I'm not sure it would sound right.
it'd sound a bit queer
