I've heard great things about the Big Fish Audio Celtic Instruments ReFill:

You'll of course get much more than just pipes.
I've had my eye on it.

But it does have North Umbrian Small Pipes and Scottish Smallpipes which are bagpipes correct? And the all-knowing Wikipedia refers to the Uilleann pipes as the "characteristic national bagpipe of Ireland."

Is it just more of a "it's not called soccer" type of stance?

I should have said "Highland bagpipes", which is what 99% of folks think of when you say bagpipes due to these being adopted by police and firemen in many countries for events such as funerals.

You sad BAG and Pipes???????? ????? 

The bagpipe is actually a family of instruments, and it is SO diverse. Selig makes a good point where most people only think of the Scottish and Irish ones.

Anyway i think every single European country has its own (i myself Play the Portuguese Mirandese Gaita de Foles, and the Gaita from Galiza). There are quite simple 1 chamber and 2 drone Bagpipes but temper is quite hard to master! 

The Uillian,and north Umbrian pipes, are more complex pipes, where the drones have keys, so that you can create harmonies (its an amazingly difficult instrument to master), and the bag is filled by an arm bellows that feeds the air to a bag, then to the drones and chamber.

For those interested BBC Alba was showing highlights from the Glasgow Pipe Festival today; Piping Live should be available to anyone with access to their iPlayer service.

Personally I can't stand the Great Highland Pipes but do like the bellows driven smaller instruments such as Uillean, Northumbrian and Scots Short Pipes. Also like the smaller blown varieties such as the Sackpipa.

Here is a bag pipe sound that I made and have used in my own music. It's the solo part not the drone. but you might be able to do something with it.

Not only European, India also has the 'Masaka Tittie'..........

Looking forward to a 'Radical Titties' Rack extension in the future.

...probably ought to mention the Sound Propulsion Scandinavian Roots Vol. 1 (which you may already have in the Propellerhead World Booster Pack).  Yes, there are a couple bagpipe patches, although you wouldn't consider it the definitive must-have sound.  If you have the set, check out the Hurdy Gurdy patch as well...maybe you can find something wonderful there...

Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm trying to find a bagpipe sound as well.  Maybe I'll try this one.

Here... That's a Gaita from Galiza. The fat man playing it is... well... me! :/

I don't have a Mirandeza right now, they are tuned differently, but the technique is similar. 

I also play a bunch of other ethnik pipes, Thin Whistle, Low Whistles, Ocarinas, Traverso, Bansuris, a bit of harmonica. But i'm a bit classically trained at Piano, Recorder and Flute (transversal).

The Refill contains one combinator patch. If you create a combinator first and browse to the Combinator folder in the Refill, you can load the Pipes.cmb patch. Once loaded, there is an NN-XT holding the samples in the combinator.
