203 Questions
What type of music is the bagpipes played in?
The bagpipe is a woodwind instrument. The melody part of the bagpipe (the chanter) has a double reed, so it could go under the sub-heading "double reed woodwind instrument" - but this depends on the source ethnicity of the instrument in question (the Scottish Highland Bagpipe has a double reed, whereas a Swedish bagpipe may not). :) Peace out!
How do you transpose piano music into bagpipe music?
To transpose piano music into bagpipe music, first identify the key of the piano piece, as bagpipes typically play in specific keys (often B♭ or A). Next, adjust the pitch to match the range and tuning of the bagpipe, which may involve transposing up or down a specific interval. Finally, simplify the piano score by arranging it for the bagpipe's singular melodic line, eliminating chords and complex harmonies that the instrument cannot play.
What is that hockey song with the bagpipes?
The hockey song you're thinking of is likely "Scotland the Brave," which is often played at hockey games and features bagpipes prominently. It is a traditional Scottish tune that has become popular in sports arenas, especially in connection with teams that have Scottish ties. Another possibility is "The Hockey Song" by Stompin' Tom Connors, which celebrates the sport and is frequently played at games, although it doesn't specifically feature bagpipes.
Who introduced th bagpipes to Scotland?
The ancestor of the bagpipe is almost certainly the various forms of double reed pipe, which may well be prehistoric. Thus, it's probable that one can not identify the inventor or even the region of origin.
Double reed pipes have been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs, and continue to exist in Egypt (cf. "The Piper of Ur" or "Lady Maket's Pipes"). A clay double pipe thought to be of Phoenician origin, and of uncertain but ancient date has been found near ancient tin mines in Cornwall. The Mijwiz is found in Egypt (where they are sometimes played by the Nawar, who are travellers like the European Rom or the Irish Tinkers), and the Jawza (also sometimes called mijwiz) in Iraq. The names come most likely from the Semitic root jwz which conveys the sense of two things (ie. pipes) joined together. The Greek aulos was also played in pairs, and like the mijwiz, the player inflated the cheeks with air and used a circular breathing technique, which is effectively the same as a bagpipe.
Ancient forms of bagpipe are known in Northern Africa (Tunisia and Kabyl-dialect speaking regions especially), Turkey (the tulum) and single reed rustic bagpipes (as well as more sophisticated single reed pipes) are played as far East as the Ukraine.
Archaic, rather than ancient pipes are found throughout Western Europe, with Ireland perhaps having developed the most complicated instrument, possessing polyphonic regulators, three drones and a chromatic scale of two octaves. Pipes of Poland, Slovakia Moldavia and Hungary tend toward a demi-chanter (producing two notes) and a six or seven hole melodic pipe.
The relative "center" of the zones wherein bagpipes are played, is likely to be Italy, and indeed in the past, that country had many types of bagpipes. At the present, the greatest variety is probably to be found in France, wherein most regions have more than one type of bagpipe.

The J-3 Cub aircraft were born from Piper Aircraft engineer Walter Jamouneau's changes to the existing J-2 design. Even before J-3 Cub aircraft went into production, war had already broken out in Asia, while armed conflict in Europe seemed imminent; thus, on 27 Dec 1938, President of the United States Franklin Roosevelt announced a Civilian Pilot Training Program ("CPTP") that would train civilians piloting skills in preparation of war, and J-3 Cub aircraft became the primary trainer aircraft of the program. Between 1938 and 1944, over 75 percent of 435,165 pilots who graduated from the program were trained in J-3 Cub aircraft. As the United States entered the war, civilian J-3 Cub aircraft patrolled both coasts of the United States, spotting for enemy submarines. Very soon, the United States military placed their order for J-3 Cub aircraft. The military variant, with enlarged Plexiglas windows, was designated L-4 Grasshopperby the US Army and O-59/NE-1 Grasshopper by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Grasshopper aircraft were used extensively for reconnaissance, transport of supplies, and evacuation of wounded. Some US Army Grasshopper aircraft were equipped with infantry rocket launchers to support ground troops, and they fulfilled their ground support missions effectively. Production of J-3 Cub and L-4/O-59/NE-1 Grasshopper aircraft continued until 1947; a total of 19,073 were built during the design's production life, most being the L-4 variant. At the height of demand, one aircraft was built every 20 minutes. A few remained in service with the US Army through the Korean War, though most were scrapped or sold to the civilian market as surplus. Quoted from
