Melodies are played on the finger holes of the melody pipe, or chanter, while the remaining pipes, or drones, sound single notes tuned against the chanter by means of extendable joints.
Other versions of bagpipes include the simple Indian bagpipe which has a single chanter and no drone.
Except that it lacks a bass drone, it resembles the present-day Highland pipe, which has a conical bore, double reed chanter with eight finger holes and three drones (two tenors and a bass tuned an octave lower); its scale preserves traditional intervals foreign to European classical music.

By removing, or blocking-off one or the other of the chanters, the instrument can be played as a single-chanter bagpipe.
This allows, as Chris Bailey points out with his model, the ability to convert each chanter to a mouth-blown wind-cap "cornemuse." Each chanter has the full compliment of finger holes, allowing it to be played with both hands as a single melody pipe.

 Great Highland Bagpipe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Probably the most well known variety of bagpipes are the Great Highland Bagpipes (abbreviated GHBs, and commonly referred to simply as "pipes"), which were developed in Scotland and Ireland.
Another version of a revived "Irish" bagpipe was essentially a GHB with a bass drone and a single tenor.
Although the bagpipes arrived from the British Isles with a user's manual, no one was able to figure out how to play them, so the bassoon player Khun Saman Siang-prajak went to the British Embassy and learned how to play the instrument with the British soldiers, until he was satisfied.
