Invented back in the days before digital sound processing, the Electronic Bagpipe is and electronic analog musical instrument, the creation of Michael O'Neill.

The instrument is fingered like a mandolin and sounds like a bagpipe. It is particularly good at imitating bagpipe ornamentation and does a good job rendering tunes that are idiomatic to that instrument.

It is portable and runs on rechargeable batteries, which enabled O'Neill to play it on the Berkeley streets, as well as with his band Caws Pobi, specializing in Irish music.
