Every month, there is a plethora of national days to be celebrated. March is no different. As a bit of a trivia nerd, one stood out to me: International Bagpipe Day, which is March 10.
Interestingly, while the bagpipe is most commonly associated with Scotland, many music historians trace its origins back to ancient Egypt.
Despite its unique sound and appearance, the bagpipe is a woodwind instrument. The player blows or pumps air into the bag and then squeezes the bag, sending air through four pipes. Three are called drones, and each drone produces a different note. A fourth pipe, the chanter, has holes that the bagpiper plays to create the melody. All four pipes have reeds, which vibrate and produce a sound when air passes through.
