ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a hand held musical pipe instrument, such as a bagpipe, having a plurality of longitudinally spaced wall openings which are positioned and arranged to be selectively closed by finger action of the player. There is included a longitudinally slidable sleeve member positioned and arranged on the exterior of the pipe body for selective longitudinal positioning by one of the fingers of the player to at least partially cover or uncover one of the wall openings to thereby provide for a tone pitch change.
