Bagpipes are generally associated with the Celtic fringe of Europe, but one of the richest and most ethnically diverse bagpipe traditions can be found in Central Europe. In the Czech lands and in neighboring Bavaria this tradition once became marginalized and almost disregarded. Yet this historic musical form has survived and even managed to renew itself, to develop further on a regional scale—crossing national and linguistic borders.

Shown here is Michael Cwach, a Czech-American performing at  Slovanska Podporujici Jednota Statu Texas (SPJST)--Lodge # 47, Seaton.TX 3/25/06:
