Those of us who can play "Amazing Grace" on the highland bagpipes feel left out too . . .

We have had pipes in the church at the Kirkin' o' the Tartans (pretty silly to be having what is essentially a Presby ceremony in an Episcopal church, but it is fun) - but they don't come in, they stop at the narthex (they're plenty loud out there!)

Historically, the Highland Pipes have at times been considered "armaments" ... the pipers may not be entering the Church "under arms". "Amazing Grace" was not written for the pipes, but sounds best (to me) played on them.
