This is one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen.

For a children’s TV show set in the Middle Ages??

Now if you get just get fire to come out of the bell of the chanter when playing! :laughing:

Or, more likely, a bit of whimsy. Here are pics of the maker with his Piggy Gurdy, and his Goose Pipes:

Hi,

it’s a set built by Güttler, who was known for his extraordinary designs.

His bagpipes are pretty rare and there are a few bagpipe makers in Germany who make reeds for his old instruments and check on them.


As far as I know, this is a set in C minor, lowest playable note would a “b”. The reeds are two years old, built by Arno Eckardt, but he thinks, they have to be adjusted, because the instrument wasn’t played a lot in the past two years!

Greetings,
Marcel
