> No, it's a chanter, it *insert tl;dr about the finer arts of bagpipes*

Aye, well, it does look like a recorder, but it's a chanter - it's the part where ye play the melody on the bagpipes. Ye can detach it, so ye can practice. It's much more portable than the full pipes, aye? Also, I think the crew may prefer to not hear the pipes at full volume all the time...
