The French Navy has two Pipe and Drums band called Bagad using the Britanny version of the bag pipe. Bagpipe can be heard in Spain as well. Most of the military of the countries of the British Empire have Pipe and Drum Bands ( Nepal, India, Pakistan). Canada and Australia have a strong bagpipe tradition as does a lot of Fire Departments and Police Department in the US. All bag pipes are not of the same shape. Some are actually using a huge bag made of the sking of an entire sheep. Some do not rely of the breath of the piper but a bellow activated either by the arm of the player or his foot. Some countries of the Middle East have bagpipes in their traditional instruments.
