The bagpipe is my musical instrument of choice because it moves my heart in a manner, for which any description using the written or spoken language is at best, cumbersome and inadequate.

Emerging across time, bagpipes are found in most cultures in Asia, Africa, Europe and the New World, even centuries before their arrival to the British Isles. 

Today, there are innumerable styles and variations of the instrument in every corner of the globe.  This is perhaps the reason why this most intriguing of musical instruments seems to stir peculiar feelings which transcend cultural and ethnic boundaries.

The haunting sound of the Great Highland Bagpipes of Scotland has the power to inspire men to achieve impossible feats in battle and yet move those same men to tears when a slow-air is played against the setting sun.
