Bagpipe

 
 
The bagpipe is one of the more unlikely instruments to be associated with classical music, I know of only one composer of note who used it in one of his scores: Peter Maxwell Davies in his Orkney wedding, with sunrise. We have to look to less common names to find an actual concerto for this instrument. Kevin Weed is one of them (actually the only one I found). His concerto can be viewed here, played by the composer with the UCS Symphony Orchestra of Caxias do Sul under Manfredo Schmeidt. Predictably perhaps, it has not reached the CD medium yet.
