Re: C3...C4...C5 - numbering system?

Highland bagpipe chanters start their scale on A (x|xxx|xxx|o) and go to the A an 8ve above (thumb off) and the G natural below (x|xxx|xxx|x) so it's a major scale with a flattened 7th making it Mixolydian mode. I can only assume that was done to keep things simple for anyone who knows their ABC. Although their written/fingered A is so sharp (479-480Hz) it's a High Pitch Bb in orchestral terms (calibrated to 452-453Hz).

Just to add to the confusion, Yamaha call Middle C 'C3' on their electronic keyboards.
