Bagpipes

A wind instrument made of a pair of flutes and a leather bag to collect the air for blowing, which is today identified with the Scottish wind instrument.

("The flour of a flute is pure from the midras" - Kellim 22, and therefore: "The flour of a flute, the nod of a flute is not visible to sit on, and therefore it is not defiled by the midras of the Zeb" - the commentary of the Rambam, Masekhet Kellim, chapter 22)

Definition (Hebrew)

כְּלִי נְשִׁיפָה הַמֻּכָּב מִכַּמָּה חֲלִילִים וְשַׂק עוֹר לִצְבִירַת הָאֲוִיר לִנְשִׁיפָה הַמְּזֹהֶה הַיּוֹם עִם כְּלִי נָשְׁפָה סְקוֹטִי.

("חֵמֶת חֲלִילִין טְהוֹרָה מִן הַמִּדְרָס"- כֵּלִים כ ב, וְכֵן:"חֲמַת חֲלִילִין, נֹאד שֶׁל חֲלִילִין אֵינוֹ רָאוּי לֵשֵׁב עָלָיו וּלְפִיכָךְ אֵינוֹ מְתַטְמֵא בְּמִדְרָס הַזָּב"- פֵּרוּשׁ הַמִּשְׁנָה לָרַמְבָּ"ם מַסֶּכֶת כֵּלִים פֶּרֶק כ ב)
