Just a thought:
If a tune for the GHB (Great Highland Bagpipe) does not go to Low G (GHB music notation), which is the lowest note on the chanter, then the tune (without the gracenotes) can be played in the Mixolydian mode on a Mountain dulcimer.
The GHB scale can be summarized as T T T S T T S T, or the Mixolydian scale with an extra note before the start of the scale. The drones are set to the second note of the scale making the second note the tonic.
