I like the bagpipes as much as the next guy, but...

5. Puke Nasty
Sorry, but the sound of "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes is so media-abused and beyond cliche now that,

oh never mind.

7. Actually, bagpipes can be quite beautiful.
In the hands of a skilled piper, especially one with huge lungs, bagpipes can sound very good. In the hands of a piper in training, run for the hills.

9. I agree with Jennings.
The only way it should ever be played is on the pipes.
