A very complete site, in Catalan only,alas, but profusely and wonderfully illustrated and with a large photographic
section on bagpipes from Europe and North Africa.
There are also step-by-step guides on building the instruments.
MP3s and midis include La Balanguera, the national anthem of Mallorca.
You can hear a couple of midis of the flabiol at http://www.geocities.com/iberiamidi/massot1.htm
