Say you join an Irish band, and the need arises for a bagpipe player. But bagpipes are very expensive and they take years to master, and players are hard to come by. No problem! Combine some odd parts, a bunch of ingenuity and a bit of leprechaun luck, and the pipes they will be a-blowin'.

About the Maker(s)
Bob Pennington Bob Pennington retired from the insurance field twelve years ago and moved from Dallas to a small town near Austin with one grocery store and one red light. He began to play music regularly on an Irish whistle, and that led to inventing several percussion instruments; designing and building a complete gamelan. He also makes rings using silver coins, an avid woodworker, inventor, and sculptor, and plays profesionally in an Irish band. He is the proud father of two and grandfather of five.
