Description of Clip Art: illustrations of bagpipes in color, 8 versions thus far, Bagpipes are a class of musical instrument, aerophones, using enclosed reeds fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a bag. Though the Scottish Great Highland bagpipes
have the greatest visibility in the English-speaking world, bagpipes
have been played for centuries (and continue to be played) throughout
large parts of Europe, Turkey, the Caucasus, around the Persian Gulf,
Northern Africa and North America. The term "bagpipe" is equally correct
in the singular or plural, although in the English language, pipers
most commonly talk of "the pipes", "a set of pipes" or "a stand of
pipes".
