The Norwegian bagpipe – ?

Is there such an instrument as a Norwegian bagpipe?

May be not, but this album tells us that there should be one. Tellef Kvifte is playing Norwegian hardingfele tunes, adapted for the bagpipe, in addition to a couple of song tunes and original compositions. The bagpipe is build by Alban Faust, inspired by traditional Swedish pipe models.
