Oh, and of course once you've got the shawm, you can also have wet and dry bagpipes, if you've got animal skins.
And brass-smithing might give you the pipe organ even before it gives you valved trumpets, if the demand is present-- all you need for organ pipes is the ability to roll or hammer a flat sheet and solder it into a tube and cut a notch in it.
