Learn more about bagpipes

Bagpipes are a traditional musical instrument known for their distinctive, powerful sound, commonly associated with Scottish and Irish culture, though they are found in various forms worldwide. A bagpipe consists of a bag, usually made from animal skin or synthetic materials, which the player inflates by blowing air through a blowpipe. The air is then squeezed out of the bag through multiple pipes, including a melody pipe called the chanter and one or more drone pipes that produce a constant harmonizing sound. Playing the bagpipes requires skill to maintain steady pressure and finger the chanter to create melodies. Bagpipes are often played at cultural events, ceremonies, parades, and celebrations, symbolizing heritage and tradition. Their rich, continuous tone makes them one of the most recognizable folk instruments globally.
