Some Bagpipe History

Bagpipes are a class of musical instrument, aerophones using enclosed reeds. An aerophone is any musical instrument which produces sound primarily by causing a body of air to vibrate, without the use of strings or membranes, and without the vibration of the instrument itself adding considerably to the sound.
