There are several kinds of Bagpipes played in the world, the most commonly scene in public is the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe.
They are played with the piper standing (usually dressed in a kilt for performance) and held under the left arm. An air-filled bag is inflated by a mouthpiece and squeezed to voice four reeds.
One reed resides in the chanter, the Oboe-like piece on which the piper's hands finger the tune. Three drones each house a different kind of reed and rest on the piper's left shoulder. Most commonly, the drones all voice the same note, but in two different octaves.
The GHB is limited to 9 articulated notes on the chanter. Half-notes can be sounded, but with great difficulty and rarely. They are not part of traditional pipe music.
