Bagpipes have been around since pre-Roman times, and the typical Highland bagpipes we know best today have roots back to the early 1500s in Scotland. Bagpipes are aerophone instruments, with an air supply, a bag, a chanter or melody pipe and a drone that provides a constant note throughout playing. Bagpipe tunes are split into airs, marches, reels and jigs, with a number of variations possible within each category
