What are Highland Bagpipes? What are Scottish Smallpipes?
You might not know it yet, but there's literally hundreds of
kinds of bagpipe in the world, from Spanish to Indian. If you
don't believe me, click

The most famous one is the Scottish Highland Bagpipe, loud and
proud of it, which is the Bagpipe you've probably heard a hundred
times before.
The Scottish Smallpipes, however, have always been a bit of a
rarity, even in Scotland. They provide a beautifully low pitched
and mellow, woody sound ideal for indoor venues. You can hear
samples of both pipes here.
