Just thought I'd add that I also play bagpipe late in evening. I cork up all the drone stocks and have a practice chanter wrapped around where it goes into pipe bag so it will fit tightly and just go ahead and play at a very low volume...I am pretty much an intermediate on it...Its also a lot easier to play practice chanter this way as air bag is doing most of the work and is good for learning arm coordination to play full set...Landlord lives right next door and I know he can't hear it as he never says anything and I've been doing this for a month now...hhmmm, Maybe he's waiting to surprise me...LOL. Best of luck to you
