The Great Highland Bagpipe is considered by many to Scotland’s national instrument. Bagpipes have a nine note chanter, two tenor drones and a bass drone. The instrument is found in all walks of life; clan society, army, community, pipe bands and with the ordinary people and pupils in schools. The Scottish Bagpipes are now found all over the world. In recent years a number of bellows blown pipes have seen a revival in Scotland. This has enabled pipers to play with other musicians more easily and has been a major influence in folk bands in the last few years. As well as CDs we have an excellent selection of bagpipe music books.
