I noticed it was a bagpipe but wondered if it is a single animals skin, or generally how was it made?

- afandian 5y agoGenerally you hollow out a goat, then stick blow-pipes, chanters, drones or stitch closed the arms and legs. I don't know what kind of pipe this is, but compare to the French Bodega and Bulgarian Kaba Gaida. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaba_gaida#/media/File:BulgarianKabaGaidaPlayer.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaba_gaida#/media/File:Bulgari... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodega_(bagpipe)#/media/File:Bodegaire_-_Lo_Gran_Passacarr%C3%A8ra_-_Carnaval_Biarn%C3%A9s_2016_10.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodega_(bagpipe)#/media/File:B...
