This is a GREAT STARTER SET because the bag is rubber so you don't have to deal with seasoning the bag which is not easy for a beginner. The Gianetti full size bagpipes have a fully functional chanter & drones, and a rubber bag. Bagpipes are classified as aerophones. They are reed instruments that utilize an air reservoir. The reservoir allows an uninterrupted stream of air to be directed through the reeds. Such reservoir aerophones are not limited to Scotland and Ireland. Their antiquity can be traced throughout Asia, in North Africa and across Europe. Various forms of bagpipes have been attributed to many ancient civilizations. A bagpipe is mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible. Some historians believe the bagpipes had their origin in Sumaria. While others believe it was spread to Persia, India, and the Roman Empire by the Celtic peoples. An Athenian dramatist, writing in the fifth century BC, mentioned the bagpipe. Bagpipes take dedication, care, setup, and maintenance, these are the buyers responsibility. This item is new but carries no warranty. PLEASE NOTE: Bagpipes will have to be setup upon receiving, this includes assembly, use the thread we supply to add to the drone ends so you have a nice tight fit. Use the rubber feet we supply to individually test drones and also is ALWAYS best to plug several of the drones until you get the hang of the bagpipes, otherwise you will faint from blowing so much air. Bagpipes are not easy to play, please have time and patience to first setup your bagpipes.
