Does bagpipe music make you cry???

[pomtzu]

I'm not especially fond of it, and tend to associate it with a funeral.

I have a CD of military Tatoos, all by famous bagpipe groups. No WAY those will make you cry!

It is the laments which get you.

Oh yes. At the end my grandpa's funeral, the bagpipe player played "Taps" while he walked slowly away down the path. OMG.

Bagpipes make me very emotional. I associate them with highly emotional times. I've even been to the Tatoo in Edinburgh. I think I was Scottish in another life.

Definitely. Bagpipes were played at my grandmother's funeral, since she was 100% Irish, and very proud of her heritage.... so every time I hear it, I always think of her. Especially today. I'm proud to say I'm part Irish, too! Also, my boyfriend said that at his dad's funeral/wake, they also played bagpipes as well. So, it's definitely emotional!

I do get choked up when I hear bagpipes.

[Laura's Babies]

I get the chills and choked up but I think it is from the beauty of how they sound. I think they have the most beautiful sound. I have loved hearing them since I was a child.

I have always loved the Bagpipe and get a little teary when I hear a sad melody.
I cried uncontrollable at the end of the Movie "Amazing Grace" when the Irish Guards Pipe Band did Amazing Grace at William Wilberforce funeral.

Well Donna as a proud Scot by birth, i love the bagpipes, and have been brought up hearing them frequently, when i hear them , it makes me think of my extended family in Scotland, and brings the urge for me to visit the land of my birth, which i have never seen yet, and yes amazing grace on the bagpipes surely makes me cry, but for me i feel proud when i hear the bagpipes,it really stirs up a whole lot of emotions.
