Contrary to popular opinion, banjo players and accordionists are percussion instruments, when handled correctly. They're similar to bagpipers in that respect.
Does that mean they are good in hand-to-hand combat???
Or are they just blowing hot air?
Bagpipers are frequently played with a heavy mallet to produce low pitched muffled thudding sounds as well as comical random noises that sound like, "Ach No!" or "Whit ye daein ya dobber?"
