Bagpipe tuning to minor
Dusty is right. Dropping the melody string takes you out of Bagpipe and changes the key
@tonyg, I think you are correct, but you would be playing in different keys.
I assume you are playing in a drone style and have no extra frets.
Let's say your bagpipe tuning is Ddd. With the D drones, you can play in the keys of D or G.
If you tune to DdC, you would be in the aeolian mode in the key of D or the dorian mode in the key of G.
