Salvate Fratres,
As a piper I have been doing some research into Roman Bagpipes or "Utriculus". I have found several links with reference to one David Marshall; however, I have found that he has passed on. Does anyone know of a historical instrument maker who makes or would make a set of Roman Bagpipes? Or where I could find more information on what tunes would be period to transcribe onto say the Great Highland Bagpipes?
