A piper is someone who plays a pipe, and very often someone who plays the bagpipes. In Scotland, at weddings, funerals, and parades, the piper is the person in the kilt with the bagpipes under their arm. The word is simply pipe plus -er: the player. A pipe here is a wind instrument, not a water pipe in the wall.

Both still rest on the musician. The word is ordinary, not slang; bagpipe players themselves use it.

both still rest on the musician這兩個說法都還是建立在「吹奏的人」這個形象上。the word這個字 is ordinary, not slang很普通，不是俚語；bagpipe players themselves use it連風笛手自己也這樣稱呼自己。
