These are bagpipes: I understand the inventor of the
bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant,
asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made
sound never equaled the purity the sound achieved by the pig.

Who could argue with the logic of Alfred Hitchcock. However, to solve the problem the Scots turned the pig's hide into a nice bag and the rest of the pig into bangers and a lesser known form of Haggis. Since that time Scottish pigs have learned to behave themselves and not try to imitate us pipers while we're making that wonderful sound of "skirling the pipes"
