“”Bagpipes do cause some people to rip their hair out, no matter how well played!””

I am one of those - also pipe organs - drunk cats on a keyboard!

If it can’t be whistled or sung - it’s not music!!

LOL, I get that completely. That said, I have always thought this was utterly moving and astonishing:

The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - Amazing Grace

Granted, Amazing Grace on Bagpipes is said to be the only thing that does sound good on them, so it is kind of cheating to use this as an example!

Q: why do bagpipe players walk when they play?
A: it’s a desperate attempt to get away from that SOUND!

Always LOVED Roxy Music and Andy Mackay’s Oboe playing. Born in 1946, he’s still going strong, IIRC.
