Nice to find this as I'm new on here. I used to think so too, that how could nine notes not be a load of frustration, but I ended up getting into it and producing a piece called Moon Cradle for bagpipes, string quartet, guitar etc.
You're right it does only have nine notes, but it's amazing how far they go. Best to go for an instrument with a few more though!
