I was recently watching Josh Groban's video of "You Raise Me Up" when I saw this photo. [View all]

I am very curious about this instrument, and wondered if any of you good people could identify it. It has a Celtic/wind instrument sound, rather like bagpipes.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

And if I'm in the wrong Group, please tell me that too, so I can put it in a more appropriate place!

Thanks in advance!
