Thanks, Gang!

I had already done a Google search, and found many of these images already...

I particularly like the one of The Country Dance, by Bruegel (the first one on the page Kat posted) -- with the young mother holding the hands of her toddler-aged daughter, helping her dance, and the young man offering a jug of something or other to the piper (trying to get him to stop playing, perhaps? ;-)). Looks like music gathers have remained pretty much the same over the centuries, huh?

I guess what I'm really asking for is practical knowlege, from you pipers out there: How do you tote around your pipes when you're not playing them? Do they come with carrying cases? Or do you just tuck them under your arm? I could always just doodle an ancient looking version of modern technique...
