Something VERY different . . .

[OC Richard]

SPS, that list only scratches the surface, as you might well know.

In France alone there are a few hundred different bagpipe species.

About double-chanter bagpipes, like your Zampogna there (the word, by the way, is cognate with "symphony" and means "sounding together") in the old days they were played all over Britain, from Cornwall up into Scotland.

So many carvings of them exist in Cornwall that many have come to think of them as a Cornish thing, but they were played all over Britain. None of the actual instruments survived, but it's clear that they were rather different from the Zampogna of Italy. A number of modern makers have made various reconstructions.

Here's one of the Cornish carvings.



There's an Englishman living in Scotland named Julian Goodacre who makes wonderful reproductions of that instrument. Here he is playing one

I owned a set of those for a while, but I ended up selling them and cobbling together my own version, with Scottish smallpipe chanters. Here is yours truly playing them

One thing we should be careful to not misstate is the "around the world" or "all over the world" stuff. Note the list above covers only one tiny corner of the world. In fact every bagpipe listed is European save for the Tunisian one, separated from Europe by a not-so-huge body of water.

In spite of the oft-repeated nonsense about bagpipes having a "middle Eastern" origin, everything points to them being a European invention.
