Anotations

Scope note:

Irish bellows-blown bagpipes, dating in their present form back to the 18th century, having a double-reed chanter, three single-reed drone pipes in one stock, and three or four keyed double-reed pipes for playing chords. The instruments are played sitting with the drones lying across the player's knees.
