In this episode, Special Instruments, we focus on the bagpipes.
Anatomy of bagpipes
When you say bagpipes, nine times out of ten you will think of the Scottish Highland pipe. Yet that is only one of many bagpipes in the world, and not even the only one in Scotland! This episode of Metamorphoses about Special Instruments focuses on bagpipes in West Europe for one hour. You will hear variants from Flanders and Germany, from the Celtic areas and countries such as Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Galicia. The countries that may have the biggest variety of types are France and Italy. Finally, we show that it is possible to play the bagpipes without a bag or bellows.
