yeah. there's kind of like, two main places that bagpipes come from, culturally (Idunno if anyone has studied enough or has enough evidence to argue that they come from a single ancestor). There's sort of an Arabic/Turkic tradition that's relatively low on drones (or has no drones), and then the Celtic pipes which are more likely to have more drones. Really though, just about every European culture has pipes somewhere (and a lot of arabic ones too). Their double reed and air bag make for loud sounds, which are popular for outdoor music and dance.
