Our Instruments

Eventhough the origins of Bagpipes are almost unknow, yet we understand that it grew up in the Holy Land somewhere in Egypt or the Laventine. This instrument has gone through lots of changes historically. Today there are many variations of this great instrument.


We honor the one used in the Great Highlands of Scotland. It has been always accompanied by drums, that has also developed through time in the British Isles, to a fine degree of perfections.
