Welsh bagpipes

Welsh bagpipes (Welsh: pipa cŵd; with the names in Welsh referring specifically to a bagpipe) are a related instrument to one type of bagpipe, a chanter, which when played without the bag and drone is called a pibgorn (Welsh for 'hornpipe'). The generic term pibau ('pipes') which covers all woodwind instruments is also used in Welsh. They have been played, documented, represented and described in Wales since the fourteenth century. A piper in Welsh is called a pibydd or a pibgodwr.
