These miniature bagpipes are designed to be fun to play and work like the full size version. Like the real instrument, your child must inflate the bagpipe via the mouthpiece which, in turn, fills the bag with air. Once full, your child squeezes the bag (which is placed under the arm) and begins playing the bagpipe like a recorder. This product is packaged in an attractive presentation box. It would make a great gift or souvenir from Scotland.
