In addition to the astute observations put forth thus far, I offer up this
rare photo of the only bagpipe native and indigenous to the USA:

@rgouette. . .I was once part of a team making 'pipes' like the ones you pictured. . .in 6 inch diameter stainless steel. . .eight sets, for the diesel powerplant of Maui Electric. I wonder in what key that chorus would play?
Bob :D

There are about 10 different French bagpipes, most if not all are currently played.

A U.S. pipemaker once told me that
France had 40 different subtypes.

Could be true too. Depends how one counts them... or, if you like, one has nothing better to do :lol:

Many years ago, at a "bagpipes" weekend in Australia , one of the makers came up with (invented) a bagpipe that could have been made in another galaxy. This was after a thought by my 5 year old son who'd asked the question " what type of pipes do they play on other planets dad?" Some children were listening to this interstella pipe and got bored when one of their number said " hey guys there's an even more stupid instrument over there!"... he was pointing to a fella playing the GHB's and wearing a kilt.... we all cracked up and could not stop laughing for a while.... out of the mouths of babes, eh ? !
