Same thing goes for the bagpipes by the way, they are not Scottish but have been introduced to Scotland by trade from the Middle East.

We have bagpipes here too (north Italy).

In the Italian neighborhood my family grew up, at one of the festivals Appenine mountain bagpipers were invited to perform their folk music.

Only an ignorant American would think bagpipes are strictly Scottish. Although I've met a few who think they're Irish, not even Scottish.

I've even had a very astute Scotsman who preformed bagpipe music tell me that the appropriate origins of bagpipe music to Europe which happened as a result of Romans conquering various parts of the Mid-east and bringing it back to Europe (it actually has Babylonian or Persian roots I believe).

Jordanians play it as well.

Sticking a couple of sticks in a cow's stomach and push to make sounds. Wait, doesn't this sound ancient Greek, or Thracian? The people even made guitars out of turtles!

I wonder if Saul Hudson, aka Slash (part Jewish BTW), could be convinced to put down his Gibson Les Paul in favor of these turtle shell guitars.

Playing 'Sweet Child O'Mine' on ancient turtle shell guitar, now that I'd pay to see.

In Abruzzo are called ''Zampogne'', in my mom village (eastern Lombardy) ''Baghet''.

But they associate pipes with celtic music...try to listen a song by Lou Dalfin and think ''this is from southern Europe''....3/4 of the american would say '''hoo this is celtic''.

I think it borrows more from a Balkan style. A lot of Ashkenazi folk music sounds similar to (mainland) Greek folk music.

The clarinet is one of the most important instruments in both styles
