A friend of mine plays the bagpipe. Not the Scottish one but a German, medieval model. It''s a rough instrument with about 1 meter long drones and a lot of carvings and copper on it, that I like a lot.
This is a detail of the cups of the drone pipes i took today...
Reminds me of Christmas for some reason....perhaps its the age of the bagpipe and the way you photographed it. Its an awesome photo and reminds me of some of my favorite yultide carols that are played on the bagpipes too! Thank you for sharing this!
