what manner of creature is that guy wrestling with?

I think I see a haggis peeking out from the bottom of the shaggy thing.

Looks like a zampogna - Italian bagpipes - particularly associated with Christmas.

looks more like half an innertube off a tyre, wonder if that would work for bellows

(have I posted here before? Don't think so. Well I do not play uilleann pipes. But plan to next summer? Maybe? Or whenever I get a job again. So I stalk you people.)

Oh, I *cant* stay out of this...

The Signore in question is indeed performing on the 25" Zampogna molise, cant tell if its got the E/Eb modificatzione, unfortunately his bag is a bus tube, disguised as a goat, (he'll be in for major moisture problems come january!)
Is there audio of him?

Here's how it should sound:

Zampognari Filadeldia plays 'Tu Scende Della Stella'

Zampogna Molisana con Mod:

+ once I get a real camera, I intend to post proof that the Uilleann pipe really is a form of zampogna.

Ciao Giuseppe! Amico! Chiuda, per favore, con chiave! Va Bene.
e Buon Natale.

Guillamo! Amico! I would never do such a thing! (dog bags are for eastern Euro pipes anyway. And bad dogs.)
Everytime I go to a site like that I get a million offers for rogaine, viagra, xanax, Portugese/Nigerian lottery, etc. in my mail the next day.
He's a good zampognaro, although I would do Stille Nacht some other way. (My ciaramellist hates it.) Maybe in the key of A on uilleann, segue-ing into 'Away in a manger'. Va Bene!
