WAV, I take note of your list of "English" instruments, and yes you are right about one the stylaphone, however can you in all honesty state that any of the others were invented in England [concertina excepted]? As a version of bag pipes certainly the Northumbrian did evolve here, but you could add Cornish, single & double chanters, Westmorland, Lancashire, Herefordshire etc but the point is bagpipes were not invented in tis country, nor was the recorder.
