Bagpipes The bagpipes are a bard instrument constructed by Hendrux from internal organs. They consist of a bladder and three hollow pipes, two containing reeds. The bard blows into the non reeded pipe, inflating the bladder which is held under one arm. The force with which the bladder is squeezed then determines how much air and how loud the sound is coming out of the reeded pipes. One pipe plays the bottom octave and the second, the upper two. The two pipes have quite distinct sounds and bass bagpipe notes sound noticeably different to the treble ones. Some well known bagpipe tunes include The Duck Song by Rakshasa and Spare Five Coins for Boat Fare? by Measle. |
