A bagpipe is a wind instrument consisting of one or more musical pipes which are fed continuously by a reservoir of air in a bag. Air is supplied either by the player's breath (via a blowpipe), or a set of bellows; the inlet to the bag normally has a one-way valve which prevents air from returning via the supply.
