The bag is traditionally made out of thin, supple leather like goatskin or sheepskin. Synthetic bags are also available.
The mouthpiece, chanter and drones are made out of hardwood - usually rosewood or ebony. Plastic compound chanters are also used.
The reeds are thin slices of actual reed, although plastic reeds are sometimes used nowadays.
The ferrules (decorative rings around the sound holes and drones and chanter to be decorative and also to strengthen them) are usually made of ivory (on old Bagpipes only), bone, silver, or even plastic.
