Yes, I caught it too. Very heart cockle-warming at this time of year! Further to Alistair's contribution, many years ago I used to provide piping illutrations when Colin Ross did illustrated talks on the pipes. If memory serves I think he had a slide of a 6 inch bronze of a Roman bagpiper found at Richborough Castle in Kent. Has anyone else seen or heard of it??

If memory serves I think he had a slide of a 6 inch bronze of a Roman bagpiper found at Richborough Castle in Kent. Has anyone else seen or heard of it?? I tried ealier to send a short comment to the group, but I cannot see it on my computer, so now I try this way using the adresses from Robb's note: The Oxford History of Music makes mention of the first documented bagpipe being found on a Hittite slab at Eyuk. This sculptured bagpipe has been dated to 1,000 B.C. The Roman bagpipes or tibia utricularis are represented on coins. Roman coins have been found showing a person thougt to be Nero playing the bagpipe (not the fiddle !) I think that we can conclude that earliest history of the bagpipe stretches far back in the darkest of history somewhere in Asia Minor. with best wishes of a peaceful and prosperous new year to ye all from Bo Albrechtsen, Denmark To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
