I feel the need to comment on this video, first and foremost as an archaeologist. There's a couple important things people need to understand about archaeology and ancient history; Firstly, archaeological and historical research is a highly hypotheses-based science, characterised by ambiguity and subjectiveness. The way we "prove" a material's utility is usually by comparing it to other finds and their use in a specific context, and then make a hypothesis about the material at hand. So, understandably, there is always a large room for mistakes. The second thing is that no one can ever know for sure what an item was used for and how. One more important thing to remember is that not all kinds of materials survive through time, depending on the environment. Items made of organic material such as reeds, wood or leather or skin tend to dissolve through time, while items made of bone or antler or metal tend to be more resilient. Unfortunately that means that perhaps there have been such instruments at some point of time but it is impossible for us to find them.The last thing - and this is important and people seem to never even consider it - is that people all over the world had about the same ideas about several things as they evolved through time, you know. It wasn't ONE man who invented fishing, nor was it one man who invented the spear. The pipe and the use of a bag as a reservoir could easily have been "invented" at multiple locations in different cultures around the world at about the same time. There doesn't have to be a one single source in everything. Now, personally, as I have delved into the search for the origins of the bagpipes myself, I would put the origin of the idea of using a bag as an air reservoir - and in extent, the birth of the bagpipe - at around the end of the millennium in the Ancient Greek environment. From what I have gathered, I would argue that the Egyptians and Ancient Greeks had the double reed pipe (diaulos) but the bagpipe itself (askaulos) is indeed mentioned in several ancient Greek sources as "Dionysu's bag"; i.e Athenaei Naucratitae Dipnosophistarum libri, Aristotel in Problems and the most important one, Polydeukes in Onomastikon. In this book written in the 1st century BC, he mentions that "we have no prove that it (the bagpipe) was known anywhere else but for the Ancient Greeks ("Οὐδὲν ἔχομεν μαρτύριον, ἄν ὑπῆρξε γνωστὸς παρὰ τοῖς αρχαῖοι Ἓλλησιι"). I'd say that's the most concrete evidence we have so far. *Fun fact about the term "Dionysu's bag", there is actually an ancient Greek myth about the creation of the bagpipe (askaulos), I could try and write it in English here if anyone is interested. Kinda hard to come up with these info if you don't speak Ancient Greek though so I understand why these weren't part of your study. There's actually Master's Thesises written on this subject, but they are in Greek :/ P.S. Nice video and nice work! :)

You've put a serious amount of work into making this. Fascinating!

Instead of "the history and origin of the bagpipes" this ought to be titled: "Everything the history and origins of bagpipes IS NOT". But it is a very good project. As someone who knows a lot about all kinds of bagpipes, I also get very tired of the " Magic Celtic Warlords played their Mystic Bagpipes in Ancient Fairy Times!!!!!!!!" stuff that the internet is infested with. Thanks.

Really reliable information and most useful to a solid introduction to the subject in public education. Thank you so much for such an accurate video and congratulations for the amazing work!

Thank you for this video. We average working people who want to know things. Who do not have the time to look things up appreciate your work. The bagpipes is a majestic instrument. I think you play wonderfully.

I personally believe that the origin of the instrument should be sought with the Proto-Indo-Europeans or around the Anatolian/Greek Black Sea region. The word CHOROS or bladder pipe is coincidentally just like the Greek χορός (horos or round dance). South Slavic word HORO also means a circular folk dance. Such dances are ancient in origin and typical in Eastern Europe, Greece and Anatolia. It is often accompanied by an instrument, often a bag pipe. Choros is in the etymology of Choir and Chorus. It might be connected to the Sanskrit word HARATI which can also mean "to carry an instrument". South Slavic word for bagpipe is GAIDA which is almost identical to Spanish/Galician GAITA. Also similar to Georgian/Anatolian GUDA and Central Euopean DUDA. It's an onomatopoeia word which means it phonetically resembles the sound of the thing its describing. Which points to the earliest source of the word as onomatopoeias are how natural language forms. Proto-Indo-European formed around the Black Sea region and Anatolia.

Thanks for making such a well researched resource.

This was really interesting, thanks you've obviously put a lot of work into this

Fun fact: the germans probably weren't the only ones to name a bagpipe after bees. The drone pipe is (or so I've heard) called drone pipe because it also resembles the droning of a bee, plus a male honey bee is also called a drone.

best history video i have ever seen, on youtube or otherwise

It seems the bagpipe was a ubiquitous instrument throughout european history, one of those things that gets invented several times over due to the elegance of the idea.

What can be said about origin of bagpipes is that almost certainly bagpipes did not appear in Middle Ages. As you mentioned, in South-Eastern Europe, or what some would call Balkans, this instrument is well known as a traditional folk instrument, very old, even ancestral. And taking into consideration the animosity between Western Catholic Europe (later Protestant too) and Eastern Orthodox Europe (Byzantine) where these two different Christian worlds did not borrow from each other as seeing each other more like enemies, I don't see bagpipes as an invention of Middle Ages. It is rather more developed and improved in Middle Ages but almost certainly has its origins in Roman times or even earlier. The Romanians have this ancestral instrument called CIMPOI (chimpoy), also Serbians and Bulgarians do have it calling it GAIDA. Generally speaking South Slavs have a lot of old, ancient Roman-Thracian (Vlach) culture adopted later by new comers Slavs. Even though Southern Slavs are Slavs in the name, their culture has a huge substratum of much older culture of this Illyric-Thracian-Dacian-Roman origins. This ancient pre-Slavic (Slavs arrive in Balkans only in 6-7th centuries) culture also has a striking similarity with Western Celtic culture which is a little weird and shocking.

It is possible to push the pitch of some bagpipes up an octave by overblowing (actually a little more coplicated than that, I'm told). The Irish ulean bagpipe is an example.

Well done this is a splendid video and well researched.🙂

there is an alternative to 'surviving unmentioned in Europe for 1000 years' and 'being reinvented in 1200ish', and that is the instrument survived in North Africa or other Muslim territory from Roman times until being brought back to Europe after the Crusades. Circumstantial evidence for this is the multi-national aspect of the Cantigas - many of those musicians in the pictures are Moors, and secondly many instruments we know and love, including double reeds, the lute, the rebec and various percussion instruments were also brought into Europe at this time from the Muslim world.

Very interesting. Thanks so much for posting this.

Bagpipes in Iberia are a an established thing both Portugal and Spain use it but the celtic karat of Iberia being Galicia and northern Portugal the bagpipe is commonly used and we have our own version of Bagpipe. So I don't know what do you mean by could this be bagpipes... Bagpipes gave been present in Iberia for ages

Very interesting. Ohne Thing is wrong: some Double-Reed bagpipes can be overblown to a Second octav (Gaita Gallega, cornemuse, Schäferpfeife, Ullian Pipes...).

Iran Georgia Armenia and Laz Peolpe of Anatolia also have bagpipes

Played scottish bagpipes for 12 years ,best years of my life ,in the first instance they are an instrument of war ,thats why so much of the music has a military theme ,theres also a history of bagpipes at sea

Bagpipes can be seen in evidence in every mountain dwelling civilization; scotts, southern germans, northern italians, in the balkans and also in the caucus. They are also found in norway. Mountain landscapes are usually pretty barren and necessitate the cultivation of very specific and hardy livestock such as sheep or goats. Therefore its not hard to see how an instrument which requires the stomach of a sheep or goat and horn (or wood) attachments, would pop up in all of these mountainous regions. The likelihood is they all discovered the bagpipes independently of each other. All it would require is for someone to play a bone flute which which were once common in herding communities, realize blowing into it constantly is hard work to keep a steady tune, then figure out they can attach it to a water pouch made from a goat stomach filled with air to make the tune more steady and everything from that point on is really just the makings of a bagpipe.

This is an awesome video 😎

Seumas MacNeil - College of Piping tutor book 1 - all the history you need.

thank you though for the info..looking forward to more videos.

Thank you for this documentary, I was looking for something like this for a long time. This is like martial art history in China, always a crane fighting a snake and all the bs. Thanks again!

Women still play Persian bagpipes till today in southern Iran...its very famous traditional instrument there.

One thing that I have always wondered is why bagpipes always have drones, while most other music instruments do not have something similar. The most strange fact is the cabrette in the Auvergne, which is a bagpipe with a drone, but the drone is never used. Why do they add a drone to it, while they will anyway never use it ? This seems to indicate that there is rather a technical reason for adding one or more drones to a bagpipe than a musical reason. But I never found any explanation about this.

When you play these instruments now, there is no debate. Specifically, the Turkish zurna or similar instrument became the European shawm after the crusades. The shawm is characterized by a stiff double reed and high pitch. I've played the shawm for years. It literally *IS* a bagpipe chanter with a few minor tweaks. I can take any chanter with a cane reed and play it like a shawm. Put a windcap on a chanter and it's a rauschpfeife. And now that I'm learning the pipes, I find I can pick up the techniques very easily. Because I have been playing the shawm for years. These are all the same group of instruments. Whatever Nero or the Anglo-Saxons had, it was likely a bag around some other kind of instrument. The bagpipes as we know them from European folk music are almost certainly a medieval innovation based on the zurna. The instruments *LITERALLY* fit together with very minor adjustments. The reeds are similar enough that my shawm runs fine on bagpipe reeds. So the European bagpipes are in the same family as the oboe and bassoon. They just don't want to admit it ;-)

Interesting research! One thing, though, that puzzles me: in Giraldus, we see "chorus" translated as "crowd". Surely, that latter word should refer to something like the Welsh "crwth", a bowed lyre? In fact, that word was later transferred to the fiddle, hence the surname "Crowder" (cf. the fiddler in Butler's _Hudibras_ , named "Crowdero").

The bagpipes are part of my heritage. The bagpipes I'd rather listen to then any other music out there. I get a pull an a tear in my eye everytime I hear there call.

I can see them being used in furnaces also, have you found any evidence that connects this instrument to metallurgy?

Wherever the original Bagpipe came from, it is pretty certain that it arrived in Britain and Northern Europe with the Roman army.

Hello friends. May someone help clarify WHY adding a bag to a reed pipe prevent it from over blowing? Thank you

I think I read they originated in Egypt. I have no idea if there's any truth to that. But I do have a question for someone with this knowledge. My friend and I are both fans of music old and new. I fancy myself a sort of musician and every once in a while a new instrument will catch my interest and I'll be off trying to learn a new instrument. Lately I've been playing a double flute. It's just two tin whistles I stuck together. But I made an offhand comment about how it was the great granddaddy of the bagpipes. To which my friend replied "fail". I said it's a woodwind instrument with a drone. Something like this must have inspired something that would eventually become the bagpipes. She said "No bag, no bagpipes.". Now I don't know why the first bagpipe maker made them but they are at least related are they not? Perhaps distantly. Anyway, I thought at the very least you might find that amusing.

good video. Aristophanes is 5 syllables, though

Scottish creation story is that they come from the daughter of a Egyptian pharroh named Scota.

hello. please check Ovid ...in his writings in exile. he mentioned an instrument cimpo, romanians call it cimpoi. maybe.

The "reed pipe" is formally known as the chanter.

I've seen vauge information that the pibgorn was influenced by the Arabic Mijwiz. I'm a new mijwiz player and an amateur Luther but I'm thinking about trying to add a bag to a homemade mijwiz..idk yet because I know very little about bagpipes

They were used in Ancient Rome,they had one drone.

16:18, no on the tâq-e rostam these four musicians on the upper right side do play an instrument now called "Shô" in Japan and "Sheng" in China, the grandfather of the accordeon. (See Henry Farmer on this topic). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheng_(instrument)

if only subtitle was available

Check out ASTURIAN bagpipes, pipes from northern Spain. Reach 2 octaves by overblowing. Not full 2 octaves though. As well a bladder pipe was indeed more expensive than a "hide" pipe but in any case both decay with time. Just for being a bladder not a hide, on my opinion does not exclude it for being a "bagpipe"..which refers basicaly to a "air reservoir" attached. Congratulations on your video, very interesting indeed.

It's an impossible task to trace the origin if a folk instrument like the bagpipes. You might as well try and work out who developed the first woolen hat! The important thing about bagpipes is their cultural application around the world. I know if 4 types of pipes in the British Isles and I wouldn't be surprised to learn there are more: the Highland pipes, the Northumbrian pipes, Borders pipes and Irish small pipes. The association with Scotland is primarily down to the Victorian spread of Highland pipes around the world through the British Empire. It's important to remember that Scotland provided by far, the greatest proportion of administrators and merchants across the Empire. This was thanks to the, once great, Scottish Education system that educated everyone up to the age of 14, way ahead of education in the rest of the British isles. Prospects at home for these educated young Scots were slim so they sought their future in the Empire and in particular in the Raj and far east and of course North America. The spread of Scots took Scottish culture. Yes, the bagpipes are an ancient invention used in manyany cultures but in the modern world the Highland Great Pipes dominate the globe because of the legacy of Empire and the pre Eminence of Scots within it.

I build my late 15th Century set of pipes myself. I also build a set for my wife too. Both in keye A and D or E.

Scottish people steal all the credit when Romanians have been playing bagpipes since before Scottish people even existed 😂😂😂

The great delight of this fascinating presentation was marred (rather seriously) only by two things: /1/ the tile screen’s misspelling of “origin” (an error which would have been easy to avoid) and /2/ the presenter’s even more jarring (and frankly ludicrous) repeated failures to read unfamiliar long names am words. (Most of the errors, except for the first one - on “Aristophanes” - were of the kind which strongly suggests that te person who is trying and failing to read hasn’t quite finished learning how to decide a sequence ce of letters into a plausibly corresponding sequence of sounds.)

The connection at 20:00 between the German bagpipe "Hümmelchen" and the sound of a bumble bee (German: "Hummel") is most likely untrue. While the words seem similar from a modern day German perspective, the word "Hümmelchen" most like comes from an old German word "humeln", which means to make short or to make small. The Hümmelchen is thus a "small" or "shortened" bagpipe or just "small pipe" as opposed to the full sized "Schäferpfeife" or the much oversized "Großer Bock". No connection to bees though, unfortunately.

You should see this, in Serbian there is a saying/curse/funny "Jebem li ti gajde" and it's going so well with everything. English translate is "Fuck your bagpipe" not so famous or familiar and sound not right when spoken out loud. You were reading a bulgarian book, they try to have everything for themselves so no surprise if they are trying to claim Gajde- Bagpipe as well. They tried it for another instrument - Gusle but horribly failed.

Great info, interesting thou the Irish pipes achieve different octaves by over blowing, or pressure variation and that is using a bag.

What about the 1 out of 19 tell me about that

Pokémon Ranger Pipe Band AKA Bagad de Pokémon Ranger and Banda de Gaitas de Pokémon Ranger!

Greek bigpipes are from ancient Greek Thracians who Orpheus maid for God Dionysus.

Thank you for the video I liked and learned Anyway In this context you should say “Iberian Peninsula” or “Hispania” instead of Spain. Spain is a modern country and “Hispania” was the Roman name for the Iberian peninsula nowadays Portugal and Spain. In the 13th century Spain didn't exist. Alfonso X was king of Castile-Leon and the “Cantigas de Santa Maria” were written in galician-portuguese language. In other hand Portugal already existed as an independent realm with nearly the same boundaries as today.

Why wouldn't you be able to overblow using a bag? Can't you just apply more pressure with your arm?

The bagpipes were common in England for hundreds of years but fell out of fashion in the 18th Century, I know it's controversial but some correctly believe they were introduced to other certain countries by English soldiers and settlers. I wonder if it was down to both the 2nd Agricultural Revolution and Industrial Revolution originating in England that led to the end of the tradition like many others throughout England at that time.

Parallel-bore reed instruments do not Overblow by an octave, they overblow by a 12th. And even if they did, the 3rd overtone is not a jump of an octave. Instruments follow the harmonic series. Tapered-bore reed pipes do Overblow an octave on the first overtone.

who perfected the bagpipes?

3:21

Could not the the Pictish Aberlemno sculpture be a representation of a primitive duel bladder bagpipe?

Armenian folk music features a piper and a totally separate person who plays the drone. That’s right the separate guy plays just one note.

to those who don't think bagpipes "mean" anything: My last name is Cochran. when I was 11 my father died. His name was Cochran. that same year so did my little brother. His name was Cochran as well. Scot family who I have not seen nor heard of since then played the pipes at both their funerals

About the extensive use of the term 'gaita' in Spain (and even SouthAmerica), and not just for bagpipes (even for three-holed flutes, rural oboes, accordions,...) : Classic Spanish etymology links It to the Germanic invasions in the peninsula (Suebi, Vándals, Visigoths...), at the decay of the Román empire, and relates 'gaita' to ancient Germanic words meaning 'goat', as the skin of the animal used for the bladder. How the Spanish Word & instrument 'gaita' would be then linked to the Slavic equivalents 'gaida', is something for I would apreciate a plausible explanation. I presume the meaning 'goat', and old Germanic 'gaits' word or similar, would also apply?

Just saying but I heard from a friend of my dad’s who I am in a pipe and drum band with and he told me that the bagpipes originated in Greece where the players would use a goat or sheep skin for the bag and Bones For the chanters and just saying but I play the Tenor and base drum in a pipe and drum band that is named after the 3rd battalion of the royal regiment of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 aka the BLACK WATCH and the bands name is the ATLANTIC WATCH located in Red Bank New Jersey.

Many comments here reference bagpipes achieving higher octaves...I think this video needs to do more research regarding that as well as it's possible egyptian origin.

I notice that you make the assumption that once you place a bag on a reed pipe that it restricts you to only one octave however, uilleann pipes have a bag and can play two octaves. Other than that I thank you did a great job..

a bagpipe is invented in Mesopotamia..

Wow.. also… the Riddle “Bird” you say it’s odd that nobble men are passing it around… not just a minstrel playing it…and that it makes beautiful music..(you say isn’t common) well.. 😁 with everything there are professionals and amateurs… I suspect you have heard mostly amateurs. I do not mingle amongst amateurs. Was taught by Canadian piping Legends.. there are few accomplished pipers that haven’t a very good career and education. In fact.. bagpipes keeps kids outta trouble and eventually somehow gravitated towards better opportunities. Engineers, lawyers, doctors, machinists, die makers… lots of cops and military officers.. so I find it very believable the nobles passed the pipes around and made beautiful music.

This guy needs to look into the new evidence about how bagpipes were invented by the people of Atlantis and then given to the Scottish by Santa Claus. LOL jokes aside this video was awesome. Love learning about pipes whenever I get the chance. Found it interesting when you noted the mouthblown reed pipes could overblow. I would love to see a video of that at some point if you found one I've never heard of that. With bagpipes, I can manipulate my highland pipe reed to overblow an octave for 2 extra notes so high b and c so it kinda acts like a Spanish gaita, but when I manipulate the reed it greatly diminished the power and tuning of the lower notes. However, with my small pipes, I can get it to overblow to a fifth, not an octave which means it's overblown to a harmonic, kinda like the flute. When you overblow once you hit the octave, but overblow again and you hit the 5th.

These versus are from the authorized version of the Holy Bible better known as the King James, the Sackbut mentioned is the Bagpipe, not to be confused with the French trombone which is not what is mentioned in the Bible, so apparently ancient Israelites played the Bagpipes... Daniel 3:5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: Daniel 3:10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: Daniel 3:7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Daniel 3:15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

Thanks for posting this, I hope the people who regurgitate the same groundless rubbish over and over will view this. I've been saying these same things for 30 years. You do make some misstatements 1) at 10:16 you say that one can't half-hole notes on a reed pipe. Any woodwind with fingerholes can be half-holed, in fact halfholing is a standard technique on mouthblown reed pipes like the Duduk, and on bagpipes like the Gaita Asturiana. 2) at 11:06 you say that putting a reed pipe in a bag robs it of the ability to overblow into a higher octave, in fact this is standard technique on numerous bagpipe species.

Ya like wrestling with an octopus if your name t that familiar with them

So this is funny... I had heard that Nero didn’t play the fiddle but played the pipes while Rome burned....so he does infact have evidence that he played.

Bagpipes are a bit like Noah's Flood... Everybody's got one.

Nero was red haired 😉

My wife she like play the ball bags

It's very important for the peoples of Europe and the British Isles to understand that we owe everything, our entire culture and history, to others. Ideally, we shouldn't be allowed to think of ourselves as having any culture. Additionally, we are encouraged to open our doors to the rest of the world and should welcome the introduction of their culture, over any lesser derivative culture we currently subscribe to.

To loud the bagpipes need ear muffs

to answer the question, is a bagpipe without drones still a bagpipe? the short and simple answer is of corse, yes. the Cornish bagpipe is a prime example of a droneless bagpipe. it is just a leather bag with a mouthpiece and 2 chanters. a drone effect can be created using closed fingering like what is used for the northumbrian smallpipes. one of the things that I find laughable in particular is that English people slag off the bagpipes and go on about what an awful instrument they are, but yet we English people had our own pipes, the Northumbrian pipes to mension 1, I am a player of that instrument, the Cornish pipes, the yourkshire bagpipes, the Lancashire bagpipes, witch are currently being revived, the linconshire bagpipes witch are currently extinked, and the worcestershire bagpipes, witch are also currently extinked. and also the Leicestershire Small-pipes. another thing I find sad also with many pipe bands is that they are only interested in the highland pipes. obviously that’s the instrument they play, but you would think they would at least be interested to learn about others. their were many types of shawms from that time, the Crumhorn, the Glastonbury pipe, from the middle ages, the Roman Tibia, and the greek awlous, witch their were 2 different types. the reed pipe and the flute pipe. I have a massive interest in these ancient instruments. how can you really be a bagpipe enthusiast if you are only interested in the 1 kind? when I was at school, for my music homework, I wrote an article about the Northumbrian pipes, the article was called, The Northumbrian Small-pipes, more than just a toy.

Ancienr Italy is the origin of the bagpipes

Thanks for this. Actually your piping sounded pretty good to me.

it was created by the vlachs

Today is IRAK Origin of the bagpipes

You know it's not worth the time to watch when the title uses a term like "THE BAGPIPE" with a picture of some doof in Highland gear, as if THAT's "THE BAGPIPE." Oh yeah, and then all the "highlights" are double reeds.

Your piping is nice. However you might consider getting yourself a good teacher on the highland pipes. They are the most skilled of any pipers in the world. What stands out is the lack of complex ornamentation when it comes to international pipers. Piping is truly a highland art.

Българи има ли тука? 🇧🇬

You asked for comments so here goes. Most of what you say is correct, e.g. casting doubt on the Sumerian, Hittite, Alexandrian etc. iconography, also the Aristophanes translation. The reference to Nero as a bagpiper is the first credible one as you say. You make a number of mistakes, but I won't list them all! (Contact me if you want - dirkcampbell.co.uk) I'll draw attention to three. First that the fipple flute was invented by neanderthals. There is no good evidence that the neanderthals had flutes at all, certainly not the fipple flute which is quite an advanced piece of technology. Second, your claim that the arghul can overblow to two or three octaves. No traditional single-reed pipe overblows at all - neither the arghul nor its relatives zummara, mijwiz, sipsi etc. Third, you state that there is doubt about whether bagpipes without drones can be considered bagpipes. Several bagpipes of Greece are droneless, e.g. tulum, tsambouna and askomandoura (portrayed in your video), and all traditional bagpipes of the near East and north Africa, e.g. ney anban, habban and mezoued. These are all of the same type with parallel double-pipe chanters and they can be found as far east as Afghanistan.

Genesis 4:19-21 New King James Version 19 Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. 20 And Adah bore Jabal.

Footnotes a Genesis 4:21 pipes Adah was of the line of Seth son of Adam and Eve. Yet Lamech was of the sons of Cain.

He says Aristophanes the same way Bill & Ted says Socrates. So-Crates Aristo-Fains 😂😂

Id Just say Macedonians are not greeks! Other than that very good video.

Origin, not origen. Your opening slide

No

You played nothing
