GUEST,leeneia	Uileann pipes and Louis XIV (20)	RE: Uileann pipes and Louis XIV	08 Mar 16
Here we see illuminations from the Cantigas de Santa Maria (circa 1250, I think.) Two paintings show pipes with bellows, and the second of them certainly resembles the present-day bagpipe. In both cases, the instrument is being held to the mouth, however, so they differ from the uileann pipes. They are numbers 220 and 340. old instruments The illuminations are fun to look at. =============== From what I have read of life in Louis' court, I doubt if hygiene was ever the motivation for anything.
