I will not over-post too many texts, but there:
[www.users.on.net]
is maybe the best article in the internet one can find - by Igor Tõnurist. (about Igor - [www.folklore.ee] ).

The best players in my opinion now in Estonia are Juhan Suits and Catlin Jaago (greetings!) and the best -makers Ants and Andrus Taul. I have also torupill's made by Ants - very good instruments!

European bagpipes.
Note that croatian section is superficial, so I doubt on thoroughness of other countries as well.

also very good, little overview: [elf.org.ru]

and of course: [en.wikipedia.org]

Hungarians themselves have an interesting culture of torupill, called duda in Hungarian. I have some recordings from the Pista Bácsi from kétbodony . Currently some 94 year old Hungarian musician, he gave us a lecture of hungarian instruments with examples. I shall pass it to ERA once and for all.

Kuusalu 1935:
Läheme suured sõudemaie,
vägevad väitemaie,
tooma tooresta kalada
jõulu suuriksa pühiksa.
Sealt me saame hülgesida,
maost saab torupillisida.
Mihkel teeb siis pillisida,
Päärel sätib näpulauda.
sätib esimikkusida.
Siis hakkab pillida puhuma,
Rootsi roogu seademaie.
Millas sinna merele mendaneksi?
Hobusella vaiharilla,
vene'ella vetta mööda.
Noored sõudevad, aerud nutkuvad,
vanad sõudevad, pää vabiseb,
raudtullid see ragisevad,
kivistullid see kidise.
Pärast lähme sõideldes sõdaje,
pääda vääneldes vägeje!
Panen torupilli turja pääle,
siis lähen sõideldes sõdaje,
pääda vääneldes vägeje.
Pärast tulen sõideldes sõjasta,
pääd aga vääneldes vägesta.
Siis tulen ise ukse ette,
isa koera kallitele,
isa ragi raksatele.
Isa tuleb välja vaatemaie,
ema tuleb välja vaatemaie.
Oma mees, oma hobune,
oma kootud kuub on seljas,
oma säätud särk on seljas,
omad kindad käessa,
oma kiri kinnastessa.
Torupilli tegemisest ja sõjas käimisest laulis Viinistus Liisa Lutermann, üles kirjutas Viinistu algkooli õpilane Meeta Eikholm.
Foto Liisa Lutermannist tegi Rudolf Põldmäe 1936. aastal.
