  • How to Assemble a Bagpipes Reed

    The bagpipes consist of three drones that can be adjusted in length to produce different pitches. Each drone has its own reed that must be assembled and installed before playing. The bass drone plays the lowest pitches of the instrument, while the other two tenor drums can be tuned to different pitches to create three possible drones. A drone is any note that is sustained throughout a composition. Drones can change throughout the piece, but they generally don't change often.

  • How to Make a Miniature Pretend Bagpipe

    You can make a miniature pretend bagpipe for your dollhouse or diorama. Craft a tiny set of bagpipes in 1:12 scale to place with the drums in the weapons room of a tiny Scottish castle. Bagpipes could be a great addition to the music room in a Victorian mansion as well, and could add a well-traveled note to the den in a modern dollhouse.
