+# Harmonic Frontier Audio – Smallpipes in A (Preview Pack)
+
+This is a **preview dataset** of the Scottish **smallpipes in A**, created by Harmonic Frontier Audio.  
+It provides developers, researchers, and musicians with a compact reference set, demonstrating the quality and format of the full Harmonic Frontier Audio bagpipe dataset series.
+
+---
+
+## 🎶 About the Scottish Smallpipes
+
+The Scottish smallpipes are a quieter relative of the Great Highland Bagpipe, traditionally bellows-blown though mouthblown sets are also common.  
+They typically play in the key of A with a range from low G to high A, accompanied by three drones tuned to A.  
+Unlike many instruments, the smallpipes produce a continuous sound with no rests, and the chanter naturally grows louder as it ascends in pitch.  
+This continuous and dynamic quality makes them uniquely challenging — and rewarding — for audio modeling and dataset creation.
+
+## 📂 Contents
+
+**Audio Files (.wav)**  
+- Recorded at **96 kHz / 24-bit** WAV format  
+- Exported as **mono or stereo** (depending on mic configuration)  
+- Clean recordings with no fade-ins or fade-outs (pipes are already sounding at file start/end)  
+- High-pass filtered at ~40 Hz to remove subsonic rumble  
+
+### Categories in this Preview
+1. **Scale Exercises**  
+   - No Gracenote Scale Exercise
+   - G Gracenote Scale Exercise
+   - Includes chanter-only, and stereo mix examples  
+
+2. **Sustained Notes**  
+   - Low A (plain sustain)
+   - C (vibrato)
+   - D (plain sustain in chanter-only mic, and stereo mix)  
+   - E (vibrato)  
+   - High A (plain and vibrato)  
+
+3. **Short Tune Snippet**  
+   - "My Gallant Hero" - Mono mix of chanter + drones (balanced, natural sound)  
+
+4. **Isolated Components**  
+   - Drones only (no chanter, drone mic only)
+
+---
+
+**Metadata (.csv)**  
+Includes structured fields for file name, instrument, category, content, note pitch, vibrato (true/false), BPM, mic position, channels, sample rate, bit depth, recording chain, and dataset version.  
+
+---
+
+## 🎤 Recording Notes
+
+- Pipes recorded in a treated room with **dual mic setup**:  
+  - **Chanter mic (Oktava MK-012)** near chanter  
+  - **Drone mic (Rode NT1-A)** near drones  
+- Stereo files are balanced mixes:  
+  - Chanter = Left  
+  - Drones = Right  
+- Levels are natural to the instrument — high notes peak louder than low notes, reflecting authentic dynamics.  
+
+---
+
+## 🌈 Spectrogram Preview
+
+Below is a spectrogram of the included short tune snippet, showing the harmonic profile of the Scottish Smallpipes in A:
+
+![Spectrogram Preview](spectrogram_preview.png)
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Usage
+
+This preview pack is designed for:  
+- **Evaluation** of Harmonic Frontier Audio format and quality  
+- **Testing** workflows in ML training, sample library creation, or DSP pipelines  
+- **Demonstration** for developers exploring bagpipe timbres  
+
+👉 Note: This is **not a full dataset**. The complete Harmonic Frontier Audio dataset for **Smallpipes in A** will include:  
+- Full ornamentation library  
+- Sustained notes across the full range  
+- Additional exercises and variations  
+
+Other smallpipes keys (C, D, B♭) and Highland Bagpipes will be released as **separate datasets**.

+Upcoming planned datasets include:
+
+- Full **Scottish Smallpipes in A** dataset (expanded embellishments and articulations)  
+- **Highland Bagpipes**  
+- **Irish Low Whistle**  
+- **Irish Flute**  
+
+Over time, Harmonic Frontier Audio will also expand into additional world folk instruments, building the first dedicated catalog of folk/ethnic datasets for AI training, synthesis, and sound design.
