Music instruments

The Celtic Music Instruments The Celtic music has been created during the XIXth century. It gathers different traditional music types, coming from all the Celtic nations. But it is hard to talk about a common Celtic music when every Celtic traditional music has its own instruments, its own way of playing and its own way of combine all the instruments. So, this article will not focus on the instruments used in the Celtic music, but on instruments which are used in the traditional music from the Celtic nations. The bagpipes Considered by many as the most important Celtic instrument, the bagpipes. But, they have not been created by the Celtic people at all. Their origin is not known, but we know that they were existing during the Greco-Roman age. The first Celtic people who use them were the Scottish and they called their own the Great Highland bagpipe. This is the one you can see on the picture. It has become across the years the most know instrument of the British armies
