Supplemental context
The Bagpipe Society's guide presents a large family of instruments, not one Scottish model. Its uilleann-pipe entry describes bellows, a chanter, drones and keyed regulators, with regional and diaspora repertories. This provides a specific example within the original's broad selection. Future readers should preserve the instrument's local name, maker and performance context rather than treat every bagpipe as a pipe-band instrument. The reused illustration is deliberately identified as uilleann-inspired rather than a representative image of every type.
Creator/community: Bagpipe makers and players across many regions; Irish uilleann piping is the contextual illustrated example Place/era: Multiple European and other regional traditions; no single ancient origin assigned
