As do vendors in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Whistler's Mother (a lady piper) had two stickers on her case: "UP" and "...got pipes?"

I've always been a great fan of the Ceol agus Rince stamp featuring Felix Doran. I'm not sure if the copyright resides with Peter Wildburn or An Post .

Uilleann pipers never die, they just drone on and on forever.

Some years ago they sold these "I love my bodhrán" - stickers on ebay. A good guarantee that your pipes don´t get stolen.

It does, unfortunately, come with the risk that a not-so-bright bodhránista will open the case ande use the chanter as a tipper.
Fye now Johnnie, get up and rin

Speaking of ducks, Pierre Laporte used to say to me (and it makes a fine bumper sticker):Sort ton canard Patrique!
