I'm glad to eventually join the NB symphony.  In retrospect, I should 
have tackled a robotic version of an instrument I was actually familiar 
with.  All of the problems I had with this were related to air-flow, and 
most of those problems were due to a really, really cheap set of 
bagpipes that I purchased off of ebay.  But I met someone at RoboGames 
who'd made their own piper and their offset wheel bicycle pump air 
controller was so brilliant that I'm going to blatantly steal it.

I'll keep nb-discuss informed as to my progress and I'm sure it's only a 
matter of time before people in the dirty shop are complaining about the 
noise from poorly tuned bagpipes.
