The guy in the middle in the above video is supposedly the "best ciaramella player in Italy." You can't tell by this video, but i have heard him, Antonio, play in person and he is amazing- like jaw droppingly good. He is an 8th generation zampognaro/ciaramellaro. His father is/was an incredible zampogna player. I guess the guy to his left is the son/grandson perhaps, making him 9th generation.

Forget all your water traps and air-drying systems and watch this man:

Probably the only gaida player who masters the "submarine staccato technique"...

Translation from Bulgarian by someone who doesn't speak it, but does speak Russian (closely related):
"That a drunken Venus rising from the sea, or Orpheus descended on Earth? In any case, saltwater is good for gaidas."

the Polish bagpipe ( I understand there's several varieties, of course)

Shortly after this video they were replaced by the set in the "pictures of your pipes" thread.

Classic video.
I wonder if this (membrane pipes) is possible only with modern plastic materials. Or else why hasn't anyone come up with this simple alternative to reeds before.

LOL, condom bag + mouth blown, not a good connotation - make a douche bag bellows for it.

"Tre Säck" is a piece for three Swedish bagpipes, composed in early 1998 but unplayed for almost 15 years until this occasion, in Germany at Pipenbocktreffen 2012. Pipers (from left to right): Olle Gällmo, Kristina Künzel and Matthias Branschke
