    Yes most of us are accustomed to the Great Highland Bagpipe of Scotland, but there are dozens and dozens of different bagpipe species in various countries, most of them completely unlike the GHB.

    Those pipes I'm playing are Cornish Doublepipes made by Julian Goodacre of Peebles Scotland. Here's a link to his Cornish Doublepipes page

    Here's a link to my site where you can hear me play them

    Thanks guys for the kudos for that latest Cornish tartan concept. I think I'm on to something, because that one just "jumps off the page" to me, which none of my previous designs had done. Those three lines in the blue field, I've moved those puppies all over the place and changed their colour and width and nothing clicked with me until I made them very narrow and spread them out. (That was the only variable because the St Piran Flag and Bezants are a given.)
