# Harmonic Frontier Audio – Smallpipes in A (Preview Pack)
|
2 |
+
|
3 |
+
This is a **preview dataset** of the Scottish **smallpipes in A**, created by Harmonic Frontier Audio.
|
4 |
+
It provides developers, researchers, and musicians with a compact reference set, demonstrating the quality and format of the full Harmonic Frontier Audio bagpipe dataset series.

## 🎶 About the Scottish Smallpipes
|
9 |
+
|
10 |
+
The Scottish smallpipes are a quieter relative of the Great Highland Bagpipe, traditionally bellows-blown though mouthblown sets are also common.
|
11 |
+
They typically play in the key of A with a range from low G to high A, accompanied by three drones tuned to A.
|
12 |
+
Unlike many instruments, the smallpipes produce a continuous sound with no rests, and the chanter naturally grows louder as it ascends in pitch.
|
13 |
+
This continuous and dynamic quality makes them uniquely challenging — and rewarding — for audio modeling and dataset creation.
|
14 |
+
|
15 |
+

|
20 |
+
- Clean recordings with no fade-ins or fade-outs (pipes are already sounding at file start/end)
|
21 |
+
- High-pass filtered at ~40 Hz to remove subsonic rumble
|
22 |
+
|
23 |
+

+
**Metadata (.csv)**
|
45 |
+
Includes structured fields for file name, instrument, category, content, note pitch, vibrato (true/false), BPM, mic position, channels, sample rate, bit depth, recording chain, and dataset version.

## 🎤 Recording Notes
|
50 |
+
|
51 |
+
- Pipes recorded in a treated room with **dual mic setup**:
|
52 |
+
- **Chanter mic (Oktava MK-012)** near chanter
|
53 |
+
- **Drone mic (Rode NT1-A)** near drones
|
54 |
+
- Stereo files are balanced mixes:
|
55 |
+
- Chanter = Left
|
56 |
+
- Drones = Right
|
57 |
+
- Levels are natural to the instrument — high notes peak louder than low notes, reflecting authentic dynamics.
