Bagpipes

Salam/Hi,

What is this.....?



This is a bagpipe, which is a musical instrument that exists since the pre-medieval time.
But, its ancient origins is not too clearly stated, and most of the historians believe, this wind instrument existed a very long time ago,

Enough with history, lets get to know about the parts of bagpipes. You've got the blowpipes, chanter, drones, and the bag. This musical instrument can produce a very loud and amazing sound. Some people even said that, the sound from bagpipes can make children cry.



What makes this thing cool is for the fact that this instrument is not only being used to play music, but also being used in the army troop, marching band, and even a rock band.

To make things more interesting, bagpipes also have their own fans in Malaysia.
some are independent and some are under registered organizations.

Two bands that we want to highlight are Kuala Lumpur Pipes and Drums (KLPD), and the other one is The Sri Darmesh Pipes and Drums Band. Both of these bands already have their own fanbase and followers.
