I originally thought bagpipes were confined to Scotland. Then I found out that Galicia in northern Spain, also used bagpipes. The link between Scotland and Galicia is that both are Celtic. Now I find out that bagpipes are used in Jerusalem. Gringo
The Irish Warpipes are similar to but different from the Great Highland Bagpipes. They also have a smaller set usually played in the lap called uilleann pipes that are their national bagpipe.
All above, thank you

DeleteThat trilling is quite typically Arabic, and something I can't recall ever hearing from Celtic bagpipe uses.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was the first thing I noticed as well.
