So, i am in college and am doing a process writing paper on how to make bagpipes. A source I had gave a e-mail address for questions, but whoever it was just said look at this and gave me the link to what I had already read and had further questions about. So, in an attempt to get another source, I have turned here. I am not sure how many of you are pipers or how much you know about the process of making bagpipes, but it is worth a shot in my mind. Okay, so here my questions go.

1: What tools are used?

2: What materials are used?

3: How does wood affect the sound?

4: How does the shape affect the sound?

Thank you.
