Scotland The Brave (Great Highland Bagpipes)

Traditional tune played on a "Zampogna a Chiave" (traditional Neapolitan bagpipe) made by Marco Cianciaruso. This one has the "modified drone" allowing you to, apart from the two melody chanters, to play three notes on the drone as well, making it the only (?) bagpipe on which you can play three-part-harmony...

Danza Di Ponte Vecchio (Zampogna)

This springlek (a type of quick polska) comes from Dalarna and is played on a Swedish bagpipe ("svensk säckpipa") built by Alban Faust.
