To clarify in case of insult: by "but unqualified" I mean "but, without qualification as to which type of bagpipe". I had no intention to insinuate that "unqualified people" are the only ones who talk about the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe! I myself will say that I "play the bagpipes" or "am a bagpiper" when referring to the GHB, even though I also play Ceilidh pipes sometimes (a different, smaller sort of Scottish bagpipe with a different drone tuning). I don't play the Irish Uillean Pipes, Galician Gaita, Northumbrian Smallpipes, any of the German, French, Italian, Greek, or other sort of bagpipes. Unqualified, bagpipe usually means Great Highland Bagpipe.
