Bagpiping

/ˈbæɡˌpaɪpɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The act, practice, or skill of playing the bagpipes; also used as an adjective to describe something related to bagpipes.

Etymology

From 'bagpipe' with the gerund suffix '-ing,' converting the action into a noun form.

Kelly Says

Bagpiping requires muscles most other musicians never develop—the pressure needed to keep air flowing through the pipes is constant, and competitive bagpipers can literally develop hernias from the strain.
