    Kilts and pipes - 1930

    Here's an article on pipes and pipers from Popular Science in 1930:

    Three different types of pipes (click on second page.)

    Interesting photos, but they seem really down on Eastern music. I actually love Japanese music. It's so different and inspiring.

    Well, you know it's an old article when Chinese men are referred to as Chinamen! I'm sure if we could have heard the author read his article we would have heard Eye-talian as well!
