I've been ignoring the exciting world of MIDI Bagpipes since this special report from over a year ago, so I'm indebted to Ralph for letting me know about vPipes - an "electronic Uilleann Pipes emulator" (I know these people are very particular about terminology).
You hold the black thing with the nice backlit LCD in your hands. There's a separate box with MIDI ports, headphone outs, and a big squishy pressure sensor pretending to be the bag, which you put under your arm. The whole system costs €980. More info in this pdf.
