Alana,
I meant Jews in Eastern Europe, especially before the War.
I knew that bagpipes are an old tradition in Spain. They are where
ever the Celts resided. In fact, I saw some beautiful old ones at
the anthropological museum in Madrid four years ago with beautiful
incised native designs on them. (Could have even been made by Jews
who used to do fancy leather works in Spain.) But I didn't know if
Sephardic Jews had and/or transmitted such a bagpipe musical tradition
after their exile. What else can you tell us about traditional use of
bagpipes in Sephardic and Mizrachi music?

Yes!
Sephardic and Mizrachi music traditionally uses bagpipes. (In Spain,
particularly, it was common to use a bagpipe made from the hide of an
entire kid). I think it very likely that Balkan Jewish musicians also
used bagpipes, although I can't cite from the top of my head.
