The Story of the Bagpipe by William Grattan Flood

The Story of the Bagpipe by William Grattan Flood

The Story of the Bagpipe by William Grattan Flood. Most people think of the bagpipe as an instrument solely connected to Scotland. W.H. Grattan Flood takes us much further back, to the ancient origin of the pipe. From the simple reed blown by the mouth, through Egypt Greece, and Rome, past the Tudors and Stuarts, right up to the French court of Louis the XIV and into the Nineteenth century, we see how the bagpipes have been an integral part of our musical history. This is Volume 13 in a series of 15 books.
