Reel pipes (also known as a half set, kitchen or parlour pipes) are a type of bagpipe originating in England and Scotland. These pipes are generally a scaled-down version of the large Great Highland pipes. Reel pipes are generally quieter than the Great Highland pipes, so suitable for indoor play.
The reelpipes have a conical bore (similar to the Great Highland pipes or Border pipes, unlike the Scottish smallpipe's parallel bore), and are generally pitched in the key of A[1] or Bb.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
