Not so.  One of our daughters took lessons and plays the bagpipe a bit. 
First one has to learn how to play a whistle...there are holes over which 
one places fingers to achieve the notes, somewhat like the flute or other 
woodwind.  Then one has to learn how to blow properly, and it's very 
interesting to see the physical change in the chest wall of a piper.  It 
takes so much deep breathing and air passage to play correctly.  Have you 
noticed how full the chest of an opera singer?  It's all about air intake 
and control.  Anyway, it's not as simple as blow and squeeze...
