Bagpipes
For instruments, there really is nothing like hearing them. A short recording of a pipe band tells the reader far more about what bagpipes sound like than a thousand words of text.

I'll be honest, though - while the piping is competent, I do wish the opening pause was a bit longer before it went into the tune, and that the ending was not so abrupt (a function of this leading into a piano and voice performance of "Scots Wha Hae" in the original). If someone can find a better recording of bagpipes, I will happily withdraw the nomination.

Used in bagpipe, pipe band, Skye Boat Song, etc.
