1. That Would Be Me!

I inherited a couple accordions.
One was my FiL's The other was a guitar student's grandfather's.
I know how to play them, but aside from making sure they worked, I never played them.
One had a couple bad keys or buttons due to reed rot. The other was fine.
I just sold both, one for parts, for a hundred bucks. For both. They were taking up space in my music closet.
But, I never played them in front of people. For good reason. They were accordions!

2. Bag pipes!

I can handle some accordion but bag pipes, no f'ing way! Had a roommate who had them once. I always asked about that with potential roommates forever after that. Now, roommates are not an acceptable living experience.

6. Thanks, I'll pass.

I don't watch funeral marches for police and others when it becomes a bagpipe parade. I guess my frequency range conflicts with theirs or something.

I think they are interesting instruments and I recall someone posting some videos of some lady who is an amazing jazz bagpipe player, that was interesting and I liked it. Not saying there's anything wrong about them, I can't handle the sound of them.

8. Reminds me of a cartoon

In the first panel, people are lined up at the Pearly Gates where St. Peter gives each soul some wings and a harp.

In the second panel, people are lined up at the gates of Hell where Satan gives each damned soul a pitchfork and some bagpipes!
