The bagpipes are a musical instrument. Bagpipe music is very popular in Scotland. Some people in Ireland and in Northern England also play the bagpipes.
They have a nine note chanter, two tenor drones and a bass drone.
Instrument is used in many places : clan society, army, community, pipe bands and pupils in schools. The Scottish Bagpipes are now found all over the world.
The bagpipe gets its name from its bag and its pipes. The three big pipes are called drones: the largest is the bass drone and the smaller two are tenor drones. The pipe with the holes is the chanter and the shortest pipe is the blowpipe. All of the pipes are attached to the leather bag, which is enclosed within a decorative bag cover.
Bagpipe is one of the most recognized icons of traditional music in the world.
The instrument and it`s art is what turns a loud noise into music.
