In the original, I believe it was a flute, not a set of Bagpipes. there are all sorts of Germanic legends such as the Zauberflote or Magic Flute.


The flute

It's a Pipe.

Verse 6,line 14

It could however be a bagpipe, since a flute player would be called a Flautist, while a Bagpipe player would be called a piper. He has also been depicted with a Trumpet or Clarinet like instrument, but that would mean he would be a trumpeter or clarinetist.
