Detail:

A while back I built up a few sets of full-sized highland bagpipes (fully operational and actually quite nice sounding) out of pvc plumbing pipe, clear flexible plastic tubing, and naugahyde upholstery vinyl --- for total cost of about $5 (less reeds). I have had several inquiries about these simple pipes lately and thought I'd put some basic info on their construction on my webpage.
