It is long-necked plucked lute of Greece.

​

​Derived from the Turkish bozuk and closely related to the Turkish saz and the Asian tanbur, the bouzouki was traditionally used for dancing and entertainment at social gatherings.

bagpipes

The War Pipes, or the Highland pipes, are the instruments played by the Scottish, and they are so loud, they can be heard for up to several miles away.  Not only were these pipes perfect for war (as the name insinuates) but they were also used for funerals and ceremonies.

steel drum

Emerged in the 1930s. Metal objects including car parts, paint pots, dustbins, oil drums and biscuit tins, were originally used as percussion instruments, but at some point they began to be tuned.
