Scottish bagpipes are played standing or walking, while Irish bagpipes are played sitting down because the pipe is sometimes held on the knees when playing. 2. In terms of timbre, the Scottish bagpipe has a high pitch and a sharp sound; the Irish bagpipe has a low pitch and a sweet and gentle sound. 3. In terms of appearance location, Scottish bagpipes generally only appear in military bands, and can rarely be heard elsewhere. All band artists with ties to Ireland use Irish bagpipes.
