Bagpipes, only a people like the once-ultra conservative Scots, would be so keen about preserving shrill irritating to the ear bagpipes! Far as I can tell, they are the only people and their Hibernerian kin the Irish and Iberian Spanish) on earth who play them, and make such a big deal of them.

I have tried to trace the origin of bagpipes, so far, I have not been successful. It would solve the issue of their true origin.

Susana Seivane, gaiteira from Galicia.

Open the link and the player will automatically load and begin playing a couple of her tunes.
