And one of the few things I care less for than bagpipes is science, so I suspect I'm not your man. To be honest I don't know what prime conditions would be - an assisting wind? Or no other sound whatsoever, the aural equivalent of a vacuum? I've certainly heard sound travel some miles when in the mountains, but I'd take some convincing on the 40 figure. And by convincing I mean somebody who cares about science telling me. Jeff, a heck of question that mixes science with bagpipes.
