I hope this isn't considered spam, Because I have a genuine interested in. Both bagpipes and the official uniform worn by bagpipers. As Such, I Would like to ask an obscure Question regarding the uniform of a bagpiper.

i have always wanted to know-what the name of the white sock-type (for want of a Better Word) Things to bagpipers worn over shoes When in full military uniform / style?

i have included a picture below-the-cut.







Thanks in advance to Anyone Who Can answer my question ... it has-been bugging me for ages, and no Amount of googleing or searches wikipedia and Stock Has Been Able shed light on the situation.

My pipes, they be misbehaving. To be more specific, the chanter is misbehaving. I can't get anything but a hiss out of it. But if I blow on it directly it makes noise. Well, a little bit of noise. Sort of a squawk and then silence. Then another little squawk. It's not...it's not continuous. It 'shuts off' and when I plug the chanter into the bag then it just goes 'ssssss.'

It's not the bag (whew) as I've corked the chanter and drone stocks and inflated it. That was 5 minutes ago. It's still mostly full. :D

What could it be? Is my reed fucked already? I've been all over teh google trying to figure this out...

Oh, and the details, if anyone needs them:
