    And now for something completely different...

    Bagpipes made from PVC pipe, duct tape, and cling film.

    They don't sound half bad, either!

    Quite a pleasant surprise!

    Sound rather like Uilleann pipes.

    Sort of like fireside pipes or smallpipes to my ear. Really innovative!

    Thank you, gents. I thought that the rabble might get a kick out of it.



    Agreed. They actually sound very pleasant.
