The three pipes protruding from the top of the bag are known as drones. The longer bass drone is tuned one octave below the two shorter tenor drones. The pipe protruding from the bottom of the bag, which is held by the piper, is known as a chanter. The low A of the chanter is one octave above the tenor drones.
