The pitch and scale of Great Highland Bagpipe seems to be sharper than B flat in Mixolydian mode? This seems to be the correct pitch and scale, with the staff notation best written with 2 sharps - "but our music could be written with a D key-signature (containing C# & F#) to avoid confusing non-pipers" ((Ewan Macpherson, 1998 - http://publish.uwo.ca/~emacphe3/pipes/acoustics/pipescale.html).
