Some Bagpipe History

Initially, bagpipes were considered instruments of the "common" people and used predominately outdoors.

Materials for the bag vary widely: most common are skins of local animals, for example, goat, sheep, cow, pig, and so on. In modern times, pipers have experimented with modern materials such as rubber, Gore-Tex, and other airtight fabrics.
