Highland Bagpipes

The Highland Bagpipes are a musical instrument associated with traditional Scottish music. Played primarily in Scotland and at Scottish events worldwide, they consist of a bag filled with air that is squeezed by the arm, allowing the player to create a continuous flow of air into the melody pipe. The melody is played on the chanter, while the drones, which produce a constant background sound, accompany the melody. The distinctive sound of the Highland Bagpipes is often associated with Scottish culture and is commonly heard in military, ceremonial, and cultural events. more »
