Starting the redpipe with blowing function
First switch on the redpipe and take the bag under your arm. Fill the bag with air for about two-thirds. Then – just like
with the acoustic bagpipe you start the drones by pressing the bag. If you press a little more the chanter will also start to
play. By still more pressure on the bag one can pull 1 tone upward (bending)
Adjusting the pressure level
Press the bag with the
redpipe
switched on until you get the desired pressure for playing comfortably. Then
press the KEY-button for 4 seconds – the LED expires shortly. After that the new setting is stored
and will remain even after the changing of batteries. It has only to be renewed after a factory setup.
Air-Management
The air-pressure is measured by sensors that decide when the drones and the chanter start.
The amount of air, that is dissipated while playing is regulated by a valve and can be adjusted to personal needs.
avalon, merlin, gallega, epona, camelot
Push the bass-drone together or pull them apart to open or close the air-exit.

Adjust the valve at the blowpipe
The bag is made of a functional synthetic textile that lets the water vapor through (similar to some outdoor or sports
clothing. Due to fact that with a redpipe you only need a fractional amount of air the bag needs no maintenance.
