It also takes some adjustment to the non-Western scale. Low "A" on the
bagpipe is where most people would listen for B flat, or even B.
Beyond that, the scale is something like a major scale but with an
augmented fourth and a diminished seventh. Its sort of a combination
of an Aabic scale and scales used in Europe druing the Middle Ages.

I just looked at the scale and it does seem to have an Arabic feel to
it with the low g/a, high g/a combination. Kind of lilke a C major
scale with a half-whole-augmented kind of deal.

One of these days I'm going to try the organ solo from "Light My Fire"
on the bagpipe.

I'd be really impressed if you did the 13 minute organ solo from
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". :)

One of the electronic keyboards I have allows you to tune it to various
piano temperaments.
It's really interesting to try playing contemporary music in some of the
historical settings.

Very interesting.

One of the high school music teachers is a lute player and has a
collection of different lutes - most custom made replicas - of
different lutes.

The strange thing is they are all tuned differently.
