The bagpipes are a Scotish instrument played by a mixture of a recorder like pipe and a large bag. The recorder like part makes the notes and the bag that becomes full of air gives it its volume and sound.

What does Bagpipes From Baghdad mean?

OK, for one, there are no bagpipes in Baghdad. They don't have them and don't use them (Bagpipes are Scottish/European). So what he's saying is that this 'ordeal' (Mariah and Nick being together) is so crazy and impossible that it's surreal that she would choose Nick over Em. Thus it's like playing bagpipes from Baghdad (Nonexistent). In a way, it doesn't make sense, just as bagpipes from Baghdad exclusively doesn't make sense.


Where did bagpipes originate?

Ah, bagpipes are such a lovely instrument, aren't they? They actually originated in Scotland, where they have a long and rich history.

Why are the bagpipes associated with Scotland?

Hi. If you are asking did the "Great Highland Bagpipe" originate in Scotland then I would have to say yes although there are several areas within the UK that have their own versions. They were brought over to the UK way back when the Romans invaded. I think they got them from the Asians or Africans.


Why are bagpipes used at funerals?
