These homemade bagpipes are Auld Lang Sweet!
Made with only a shopping bag, duct tape and vinyl piping, you too can make your neighbors hate you with the same fury William Wallace faced when battling the English for Scotland's freedom. The shopping list for these DIY homemade bagpipes is actually pretty small, and there's a surprising flexibility in both the sound producing capabilities and design of the project. The project basically involves tuning each of the PVC pipes and placing them in the right spots in the duct tape covered bag.
I personally really liked the fact that the instructions tell you that the bag will leak air, and to simply patch it up with more duct tape when that happens. As a self-proclaimed duct tape handy man, I didn't need to be told to patch holes with duct tape.
