Here in England we have a similar but more genteel and refined approach to these things.

The kid was getting more attention than the tuba player.
 
Typical! 

We saw the tuba guy in action outside the London Science Museum last December.

Once you can see into the tuba's bell his flame rig is very simple and very, very clever. Looks amazing in the dark.

Oh, do tell!  Do tell!  

No. It's his trick and he's just as entitled to keep it secret as my mate who used to have an act that involved used Music Hall tricks like escapology and shattering big concrete slabs with a heavy sledgehammer while they rested on his partner's ribcage is not to have his secrets revealed.

>:-)

 

He wouldn't tell the police how it worked either so they told him to bugger off! 
 
(And you KNOW I accidentally made the tags [tuba] the first time!)

 
 

Besides there's always this! 

are bagpipes scottish?  How does the fire bagpipe work?  BTw my cat doctor's sons both play bagpipes.

Are bagpipes Scots? Well, at least two types are. The "highland" or "great" pipe which is the most famous, has a distinctive and unique scale. They're the kind played by played by Mr Vader. The other Scots kind is known as "lowland" or "border" pipes because they were played, you guessed it, in the lowland region along the Scots/English border. Or "smallpipes" because they're smaller than bigger types of bagpipe. These are more technologically advanced and play a pretty much standard scale. They also have a more domestic level of volume.

England has bagpipes, the bigger, louder type died out in the 17th century, but has had a bit of a revival since the 1980s. There's an unbroken tradition of Northumbrian smallpipes however, and they're among the most technologically advanced pipes of the lot. There's some very, very good players around.

Ireland, of course, has the distinctive Uillean pipes - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XsdAUwXekSc

After that, it's easier to say where in Europe doesn't (or didn't) have bagpipes, and often more than one kind.
Books have been written about the history of bagpipes, they're one of the oldest and most widespread instruments.

Here's a few more examples of the species. The French style are probably the most widespread, very similar pipes were, and still are, played across most of Europe.

Saw Katherine Tickell and her band a few years ago, she's excellent.
