As some of you may know, I am working on a private collection of retold folktales, and am also doing illustrations (one key scene per story)...

The key scene for one of the stories, from the Brothers Grimm, is of a young shepard mounting his steed and riding off to find a princess to marry... His one valuable posession is a set of bagpipes, which he takes with him.

Now, we're not talking the Scottish Highland pipes here -- probably closer to the Bruegel or Shepards' pipes.

But here's my question: How would such a set of pipes be carried while riding? Can they have a shoulder/carrying strap like a guitar, and slung across the back, or would they be put in a saddle bag or pouch, or some such?

Thanks in Advance!
