bagpipes are some of the worst midi voices ever.. Also it would need

authentic.
I like the song, but to my ears the midi soundcanvas sound is
horrible. I particularly hate that new-age synthy sound.. perhaps
that's just me though. I wonder if some of the FluidG3 soundfont
sounds would be better. It's a shame there isn't anything like
the Edirol orchestra vst for Linux.. Also I agree the note start
timings are a bit delayed in places..
Overall very nice composition though!

Hey, that's pretty good!
Needs a bit more tightening all around. The material is good but needs
to spend a bit more time in the mixing phase. The various tracks are not
100% "aligned" from a sound perspective.
E.g., the instrument that kicks in at 00:08 - you don't want a sound
that "shiny" in this kind of song. I see what you're trying to convey,
but it's a tad too sandpaper-ish. I wonder if a very gentle low-pass
will make it blend more naturally.
