bagpiper

Nights brought parties, etc., but nothing beats falling asleep in a tent to the near-distant beating of drums and occasional bagpiper.

For example, a bagpiper can make severe simplifications to the harmony or even change melodic intervals to fit what they have available.

It's the same joke on the wikipedia with the penguin and the bagpiper.

(The article captures this well.) There was a bagpiper, a young ex-marine, a woman who may have been stealing ming vases, a social worker and her sister who took us on a tour of the Snake River, and an air traffic controller on the way to his mother’s funeral.

Mind you, "shimi" Lovat persuaded his personal bagpiper to play on the beaches of D Day in 1944 as the regiment landed.(1) On the 6th.

I myself will say that I "play the bagpipes" or "am a bagpiper" when referring to the GHB, even though I also play Ceilidh pipes sometimes (a different, smaller sort of Scottish bagpipe with a different drone tuning).
