[Music]
it on question time today Janet Fates is
with Bruce Ferrar a real bagpipe playing
Scotsman
[Music]
[Applause]
welcome thank you thank you what a
wonderful instrument well that's quite
an interesting outfit you're wearing can
you tell us what it is all about yes i'm
wearing a traditional Scottish kilt it's
made out of wool there's about eight
yards of material in it and originally
they used to wear the kilts all the way
around the back and up around over the
shoulder so that Scotsmen could keep
themselves warm at night as a blanket
and during the daytime they could wear
it as their normal outfit what about
that well this is called a sporin and
typically we put money in there if we
have any or other gadgets snacks or
things like that and the hat this is a
Scottish balmoral balmoral cap and we
use that to basically keep the rain off
our head and the sun out of our eyes
what is the bag pipe made of ebony or
rosewood and both those woods come
usually from Africa and we have other
things here we have the the leather bag
here this is made out of cowhide some
leather bags are made out of elkhide or
deer hide what kind of sounds do the
pipes make well the bag pipes make lots
of sounds u they make sounds out of
these three drones here uh two of the
drones are the same third one's much
longer than the other two they make the
low humming background noise that you
hear and in here is what we call the
chanter and it has a read in it that
makes the high pitch melodies you might
notice all the different holes on the
chanter and these holes sound much like
a flute when you play a flute how does
it work well what I do is I blow air
through this blowpipe here into the
bag which fills up and allows all the
air to go through the different drones
and through the chanter that's how we
make the noise can you play something
for us sure how about if I play the
unofficial Scottish national anthem
Scotland the Brave
[Music]
[Applause]
