The bag of the redpipe has to be filled with air using the blowpipe just as with traditional bagpipes. While playing the air escapes over a buit-in valve. The throughput of the valve can be adjusted to personal needs. So, it is the decision of the piper how much air he/she wants to blow in. This leads to a realistic way of piping.For beginners it is easier to get familiar with the specific air management of bagpipingThe bourdons/drones, the chanter and the overblowing function are pneumatically controlled by pressing the bag. The amount of pressure, which is necessary to get the instrument going is adjustable to individual needs.
