International Bagpipe Day - March 10
Fri Mar 10th

International Bagpipe Day

International Bagpipe Day, which takes place every year on March 10th, commemorates this special device. The day also highlights the diversity of bagpipes to the general public.

Bagpipes are woodwind instruments used in Bagpipes. The majority of people associate this instrument with Scotland, Ireland, and other Celtic countries. However, the bagpipe's sources are not derived from ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians reportedly played some form of the bagpipes about 400 BC, according to several. The men who played the instrument were referred to as the pipers of Thebes by the time. The pipes were also believed by historians that the Roman emperor, Nero, played the pipes.

Historians aren't sure how the bagpipes made their way to Scotland and Ireland. According to one theory, the bagpipes were carried to Scotland by invading Roman legions. Through the years, pipers from Scotland and Ireland have played the bagpipes at weddings, feasts, fares, and even during war. The bagpipes were used in the Scottish Highlands during the 16th and 17th centuries as the weapon of battle.

Bagpipes come in a variety of sizes. Both the Highland bagpipe and the Lowland bagpipe are two popular items in Scotland. The Highland bagpipe is the most popular, and pipers usually appear at Highland dancing, weddings, and funerals. The Irish people play the uilleann bagpipes most often. With a softer sound than Scottish bagpipes, the instrument is more suitable for indoor performances.
