The Celtic thread, for people that like quality folk music and shit that's way better than a 2 month guitar student drumming out freebird to try and get laid or someone farting into a mic and dubstepping it.

Most people don't really know all the variety there is in bagpipes. You got border pipes, northumbrian pipes, uilleann pipes, and scottish smallpipes. Those are just the Celtic ones.
Border pipes, they sound a lot like highland pipes in pitch and tone, but are quieter and bellows-blown:

Scottish smallpipes sound like the ones played by an Irish bitch, but are Great Highland Bagpipe fingering and in proper concert pitch:

And last but not leastly, Northumbrian and Uilleann pipes, which together sound quite beastly:
Most people don't like piobaireachd (a type of bagpipe music) because it's seen as slow and repetitive (as opposed to listening to that sweet guitar chord you hear 40 times in a song). But piobaireachd was originally played on the harp before the pipes became prominent, and it sounds nice, way better than I thought the harps would sound:
More smallpipes, with drones being changed for a completely different sound and all that cool stuff. The videos of the guy making my set (to be gotten sometime around January next year for me):
