I really like the dutch word for bagpipes. They call it a "doodle bag".
Think people will look at you funny if you say your going to play your doodle bag?
Binoculars is better, thats a "long looker"

From 1890, wow! I read "new owner" and thought "new bagpipe". Looks like excellent condition for 122 years. Do they play in B flat like modern pipes or in A? either way an excellent aquisition.

Thanks Tom: I play them in A with a cocus D. Glen chanter, but it is very difficult to find the chanter reeds wich are not similar to the modern ones.
The nice condition of the pipes is due to the fact they were not used since 1946...
