Last Thursday a Northumberland music group came to our school. They showed us Northumberland small pipes which you use your arm to push down on the airbag to make the sound. You don’t blow into them like Scottish bagpipes. The Scottish bagpipes are louder than the Northumberland pipes.

There was also a mandolin, a harp, guitars, flutes, violins, cello, keyboard and a box drum in the group. We liked the fiddle players the best because they were the loudest and you could hear them very well over the other instruments.
