This post is part 1 of 5 of \u00a0LEGO bagpiper<\/a><\/div>\n

So confination has been tough. One year at home, one year of remodeling and repairing on my building – a 9 floor building with 36 apartments and it seems many neighbors saw the major repairs as an opportunity to make their own remodeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I almost went crazy (or maybe I already am) and found myself thinking on playing bagpipes on the roof, scaring the falcons that appear at spring near my village (one even made a nest on this building, some years ago). And of course, retaliating to all the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I don’t know how to play bagpipes (or any other instrument). I don’t even own a bagpipe – just a toy bagpipe that we bought on Scotland on our honeymoon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not a proper bagpipe, the drones are false and the bag looses air but the chanter (the long tube at right with a reed inside that makes a hell of a noise when air passes through it) works and is also detachable so I use it as a sort of practice chanter (the reed inside is also replaceable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost 2 years ago I already tried to fill this bagpipes with my brute-force LEGO air compressor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
