Do you hate bagpipes? How about harps?

[Xipe Totec]

Or any instrument, for that matter.

Post your favorite instrumental music here.

Anything other than bagpipes; there's a pipes thread elsewhere in the lounge.

Here is my contribution...

Cruz del Sur: A Japanese ensemble playing Mexican Harp Music:

1. Bagpipes make me cry.

My father was a member of the Chrysler Pipe Band in the 50's.
He used to play in THE BATHROOM so he could hear himself over
the droning sounds.

I used to cover my ears and RUN out of the house if I could.

YEARS later, I still remember all of the melodies and when
I hear bagpipes I cry because it reminds me of him and how
much I miss him.

He HATED playing "Amazing Grace", because it was the only
tune that non-Scots knew and his band was always asked to
play it. He considered it trash.

6. Thank you! That was invigorating!

My dad was a wonderful person.

When he died he took a lot of
me with him.

4. whoa me too!

a different reason though, they remind me of my Grandmother and going to the Highland games every year when I was young.

There's something really haunting about the sound anyway though.

8. Just had this conversation at work yesterday. Bagpipes make me cry - they connect w/me on a deep

level. Something so soulful about them. Absolutely love the pipes.

The Dark Island.

It's done by a single piper here, but it is at its
best when there is a whole skirl.

3. Why do Bag-Pipers march so fast ?? To get away from the Noise.

Ok..I like Bagpipes.
