bagpipe music
Skirling Scottish melodies
Music played on bagpipes—the reed instrument with a bag reservoir and multiple pipes.
The term often carries a note of complaint, since the drone and piercing melody can grate on listeners unaccustomed to it: The neighbors started up with their bagpipe music again.
Scottish and Irish traditions dominate, but bagpipes exist across Europe and the Middle East.
