Do you know why you always see bagpipers walking or marching?
Easy; they are trying to get away from the sound.

I enjoy the sound of bagpipes--outside. I once attended a wedding in a
church
where a piper played. Too loud, but I couldn't keep my foot from
tapping. Maybe
we can get a bagpipe thread going for the next IHS. Speaking of names,
I love
the German for bagpipes: Dudelsack.

I think the greatest thing about the invention of musical instruments

warfare is the story of the Bagpipe. I heard that the reason it was
invented
was
so that it would scare the enemy away on the battlefield.
I also wonder how many times the bagpipers were the first casualties
of war
in a battle because of that.
I kid sometimes though, the bagpipe isn't all that bad :P

My understanding has been that the English horn was invented in France

retalliated with the French horn.
