1) The bagpipes sound best outdoors, or in a very large room. "Stadium" or "concert hall" are probably better for estimating magnitude than "room."

2) When you have bagpipes in a room that is much too small for them, and they are failing to win friends and influence people, electronic amplification will not help.

3) If relatively soft-spoken speakers follow the bagpipes (as of course they must, because no human voice can speak as forcefully as even one set of bagpipes), the gain on the amplifier should take this into consideration. I mean the gain should *compensate* for the human voice being softer, and try to allow the audience hear the speakers with their bagpipe-stunned ears, rather than a symbolic commentary about not having faith in the words of elected officials, but trusting instead in patriotic music.
