Description
While the bagpipers were warming up, I was checking out and capturing artistic shots of the tools of the trade. Black and white photograph.
A set of bagpipes minimally consists of an air supply, a bag, a chanter, and usually at least one drone. Many bagpipes have more than one drone (and, sometimes, more than one chanter) in various combinations, held in place in stockssockets that fasten the various pipes to the bag.
Bagpipes are a wind instrument using enclosed reeds fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a bag. Though the Scottish Great Highland bagpipes are the best known in the Anglophone world, bagpipes have been played for a millennium or more throughout large parts of Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia, including Turkey, the Caucasus, and around the Persian Gulf.
This particular event was in Redding, California. 2017 Redding Bagpipe Competition.
