How do I measure the stick?

The bagpipe stick, also known as the pipe stick, is an essential part of this traditional instrument. It serves as a holder for the individual playing or melody pipes (chanter) and the drone pipes (drones). The stick is tied into the bag (the actual air reservoir of the bagpipe) and ensures that the pipes are securely fastened and airtight. This allows the air to be directed through the pipes to produce the characteristic sounds of the bagpipes. There are different types of sticks, depending on the type of bagpipe and its cultural origin, which are specifically adapted to the requirements of the respective musical tradition.
