Ants Taul

Ants Taul (born 7 March 1950 in Tõrva) is an Estonian musician and instrument-maker who played a prominent role in the revival of the Estonian bagpipe, the torupill.[1] As early as 1976 (when he was 26), Taul was recognised as one of Estonia's primary bagpipers, with piper Olev Roomet having retired due to ill health.[2]

Taul continued to play, including representing Estonia in musical exhibitions with other folk musicians in the 1980s.[3]

Ants' son, Andrus, continues to make and play the torupill as had his father.
