The Point of Bagpipes

People who hate bagpipes miss the point of them. This post explains why. If you don’t know, Bagpipes are a musical instrument that is popular in traditional Scottish, Irish, and other Celtic music. They consist of a bag, which is typically made from animal skin or synthetic material, and several pipes that are attached to the bag. The player blows air into the bag, which is then used to produce a continuous sound through the pipes. Bagpipes are often played at events such as weddings, funerals, and military ceremonies, and competitions or performances. Oh and of course to make you fight the English:
