One thing that struck me about the Popper thread is the belief some 
people have that harp players have an obligation to do something to make 
the harmonica more respectable or whatever.  Seems to me it's like 
anything else, you do the best you can.  It's not a crusade; it's 
music.  Somehow I can imagine the same sort of thing in a bagpipe list. 

Don't get me wrong, I like bagpipe music.  I'm more partial to the Irish 
pipes than the Scottish pipes but I'm a sucker for anything that has a 
drone.  Then there's the wonderful double reed woodwind family. Don't 
get me started on shawms.  Every marching band should have a shawm section.
