Where do you imagine someone got the notion to build such an instrument? It clearly resembles a simple recorder or piccolo wind instrument- only there are two such instruments strapped together. Someone thought- hey, if I put two of these together I can make a more beautiful chord than one alone. It's a fuller, richer, deeper more beautiful sound.
So one, a litle longer than the other was attached to one a little smaller. And then they needed a way to simultaneously blow air into both at the same time so that air was flowing into each as each were played. They had to be permenantly attached, so another device was affixed to the top through which air travelled simultaneously through both pipes and kept them both in place. This is the idea it seems behind the Spirit uniting two which God affixes together so that no man may pull asunder- because in his Divine Will for their maximal divine purposes to be fulfilled in their lives, the Holy Spirit affixes them together permenantly so that he may simultaneously blow the Spirit through both of them- to manifest a far more beautiful sound than could ever take place with just one alone- which is but half the notes on the chord. Now, there's a Presbyterian "children's message corner." Don't talk to me about the kind with more than two pipes- some Scotsman invented that after a few at the pub.
Have I just explained by accident why this is such a popular instrument at weddings?
How absolutely insane would it be to say that Pipes, to maximally make a joyful noise may never be attached to any other Pipe and kick out any Pipe so attached to another in the fashion with a "bag" for such shall be immediately evicted from the celestial orchestra by Order Of the Rule Of Benedict.
