Istria is an ethnically and culturally mixed region, so it seems likely that any local bagpipe would be shared between cultures. A bit of poking about uncovers this picture in which jpeg compression has destroyed any detail of the chanter. In fairness, it doesn't look as described in the article.

It is, although Istarski mih (detailed picture of the chanter at the article) is similar to other mihs along the dalmatian coast, so it is mainly a croatian instrument. It is also played in Kvarner, which was not under such Italian/ Slovenian cultural influence -- Hand of Bjesomar 21:31, 11 March 2006

[edit] Merge of Spanish bagpipes

Spanish bagpipes appears to have been cloned from the Iberia section of this article. It would be better to bring it back into the fold.--Yendor1958 10:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

What's in the Spanish bagpipes article now is mostly about the types of bagpipes, and probably should come back. The intro to the article, however, mentions different piping styles. Before we decide to merge the article away, is it possible that aspect could be expanded?Lisamh 18:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: The individual sections of Types of bagpipes should not be huge, as some are getting. The richly detailed text should be in individual articles on Spanish bagpipes, Italian bagpipes, etc. Badagnani 19:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] General cleanup

This list is awesome, but needs a little cleaning up. I went through the various Eastern pipes (SW Asia, Caucuses, Africa) and formed new articles, pasted in details, got original spellings in original alphabets, etc. If some folks could "adopt" the Italy, Poland, and Iberia sections and tighten them up, that'd be awesome. Though it's a tiny thing, it'd be awesome if someone could find the right lettering for the Cretan pipe in the Greek alphabet. Anyone have a Flickr account and want to write the Cretan guy who owns the linked pic? MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
