• Installation Rating:
  We found this program very easy to install and setup. Although there was no custom installation option, there was no need for it as it is not a large program nor does it require any special or additional components.

• Ease of Use Rating:
  This program is very easy to use and is suitable for the entire range of pipers and non-pipers, from novices to professionals alike. A simple graphical user interface makes it easy to write and edit tunes, as well as add pre-formatted embellishments, such as doublings, throws and piobaireachd movements. We also found the playback feature easy to use and very effective. The playing is very well done and is done on an actual bagpipe. The only problem that we found was that it does not limit the number of notes per bar as per the time signature. This involves a little thinking on the users side.

• Price Rating:
  £65 UK (approx. $100.00 USD)
  Competively priced, but would probably sell more licenses for a little less

NOTE!! PiobMaster 2.2 is now £49.99 - $75 USD

• Overall Rating:
  We found it to be the most effective bagpipe music writing program on the market.
