Anyone know the French for 'bagpipes'?

And that's a serious question, as I have no idea! Not sure what this bagpiper was doing in the middle of Paris at the weekend, but he was pretty good! - Lucy

My father was all French, he liked bagpipe music but never mentioned the French for playing it. Beautiful capture, nice crisp lines and lovely bright colors. Glad he was enjoyable to listen to. I love bagpipes myself.

It''s la cornemuse. One doesn't expect to see this in Paris! Well captured Lucy.

You captured every detail including his effort to play the bagpipes! Nice job!

Perfect capture and somewhat unexpected but then we do have pipers her in Australia - a long way from Scotland.
