I guess technically it is a wind instrument but it seems almost like a keyboard sounds. Very cool

I saw her in a city in the Netherlands on Orange Day. Don't remember the city, but I sure remember her and her partner singing and acting crazy and they had the whole place in their hands. Awesome and so fun.

I guess that's possible with a bagpipe.

Taking nothing away from what she's doing, it doesn't sound like bagpipes. Sounds more like an oboe.
Any wind instrument can bend notes, I guess. I only play a little bit of flute. I play things with strings. I'm not good enough to bend notes, so not sure if it can be done.
Reed & brass guys do it all the time.
