There is a nice sculpture of a high medieval bagpiper in a Cistercian monastery in Spain. The text above gives some clues about the ancients being familiar with bagpiping, but the evidence seems vague. Is there some definite archaeological or other evidence that the Greek or Roman (and people before) knew and played this instrument?
