Story of the Bagpipe
direction of the Syrinx does not concern us here, but it
is remarkable that the " King of instruments" should
trace its origin to the same source as that of the
bagpipe — namely, the shepherd's reed.
The substitution of a bellows, or wind-bag, blown by
the arm for the simple pipe blown by the mouth, gave
rise to the cornemuse, musette, sackpfcife,
Various sampogna, samponia, and the Irish Uilleann
ames pipes, as will be seen in the following pages.
o Other names for the bagpipe are surdelina,
bignou (biniou), loure, comamusa, chevre,
chevrette, saccomuse, piva, gheevifa, and ciaramclla.
