Great Britain is home to some of the most iconic pipe bands in the world. From the marching bands of Edinburgh to the reggae sound of the St. Andrews drum corps, the sounds of bagpipes are embedded in the nation's culture and history.

For many years, these musical ensembles were accompanied by drum and bugle corps, but in recent years they have also been supported by a variety of other instruments, such as the accordion and the piano.

The bagpipes themselves are not an instrument, but a portable pipe-stretching device, similar to a guitar. When it is not being used for playing, it is stored in a case. A person who plays the bagpipes, usually a male, wears a costume with a mounted set of pipes.

The set of pipes that a person uses to play the bagpipes is referred to as a pipe-tune, and is usually made of metal.
