Hawick Buskers Festival

[Andrew Breecher]

The pipes in question appear to be a type of Northumbrian Smallpipe. Here's a link: http://www.hotpipes.com/pipe0018.html

The pipes are similar to - but simpler than - the Irish uilleann pipes, which also have additional regulators on which there are stops, and the knee is also used to play.
