Paul buying bagpipes in Multan Pakistan 2006

Not many people realise that most of the world's bagpipes are now manufactured in Pakistan. This is legacy of the British Raj. When I was shopping for a souvenir from Pakistan I came across this a band instrument shop in Multan.

I did buy it but only as a souvenir. The chanter was broken, but they looked good.

Paul! you've just wasted your money like a fool. The best use you'll find for those pipes is to keep u warm in a fireplace during winter.

Never buy paki pipes.

@peshawargallery PAKISTAN SHOULD STICK AT MAKING AK47s INSTEAD OF BAGPIPES.

Pakistani pipes are rubbish. If you want to play the pipes, buy Real bagpipes made in Scotland.

Way to go Paul. You got ripped off big time, unless, you were shopping for a wall hanging decoration.

She inscribed 'most of the world's bagpipes'; read carefully, nincompoop.

The "bagpipes all come from Pakistan" isn't true. Quality bagpipes are made in Scotland for the most part, Cananda and the USA. Paki pipes are worth nothing more than fire wood.
