The problem is that there are those who seem to have forgotten the  bagpipe's 
noble history and seem to think that it is now a musical  instrument,  In the 
same category is the trombone, designed as a device to  pull a man from his 
horse and which is now similarly mistaken for an  instrument.
 
The saxophone has no noble history yet still manages to fall at the same  
fence.
 
All the best,
