    Now I'm seeing strange pipes everywhere. Detail from Les trčs riches heures du Duc de Berry:
    A kilted Celt on the border.
    Kentoc'h mervel eget bezań saotret
    Omne bellum sumi facile, ceterum ęgerrume desinere.

    Macedonian and other mediterranean versions of the bagpipes tend to look like that. I really like the natural decor. When they play them, they tend to sound like the clarinet in a klezmer band (probably was the original before the clarinet was invented). Here's the guy playing them:

    Buzkazhi – now that’s an interesting angle, Nighthawk. But the game is actually played with calves.
    Nowadays they use a dead calf, but in days gone by it was a live one.
    Regards,

    A winnock-bunker in the east,
    There sat auld Nick, in shape o' beast;
    A towzie tyke, black, grim, and large,
    To gie them music was his charge:
    He screw'd the pipes and gart them skirl,
    Till roof and rafters a' did dirl.
