As a Canadian Scot, I take serious offence at this comment: Bagpipes
by definition are always in tune; it is the ignorant listeners who
aren't. Besides, I heard the Romans left because of the advent of
the accordian... Now, as a one time player of same, that is an
instrument deserving of opprobrium.
