Nope...just nope.
I do like and appreciate the bagpipes, and in some songs they can be quite lovely. There is no chance in heck that is what you are hearing in that song by Sting...that is either a poorly recorded violin (or other stringed instrument) or a synthesized string instrument.
I can also say that would be in my top 100 songs, and one I have listened to several hundred times (Sting - "Fields of Gold")

I agree DriveHard, definitely a synthesized/computer generated sound.
Guys. This has been bugging me, "I hear wind instrument"
So I dug a little.
Remember.. 1993 ? Synthesizers, YES (Moog
CGI, not so much.Sooo...
Northumbrian small pipes ?

^ Just because I brought it up and yes I really do want to know, not guess at .
Another reason I think WIND INSTRUMENT is there isn't any bread between the notes, I *want* to say unlike a violin...
I've played clarinet before, not violin.
The synthesizer thing is a stretch to me.. Someone told me "That is not real pipe organ in the beginning of U2 'Where The Streets Have No Name, it synthesizer." That would be easier for me to believe...
Never heard of a Northumbrian Short Pipe before but now I have to know.
"Ri-cola!"...
And yes, this intro may just be what greets me when I die and go upstairs. It's that beautiful. Then transitions into very Oirish (Irish) guitar lol.. Edge..

My bride and I don't officially have "a song" but this is one of our favorites...we both took very hard and broken roads, but 12 years later we have found a way to keep going together, happier than ever.
...and for me it qualifies...can't listen to it right now without tears ;-)
We Are equally passionate about music.
Do you like song by Keith Urban "Making Memories Of Us?"

I have to hold to my thoughts...synth strings...this is from your own link you shared
"The instrumentation includes intermixing classical guitars, steady bass, soft shaker, atmospheric synth strings, and elegiac solos by Northumbrian small pipes (says Wikipedia) and harmonica"
I don't know how you did it, but you put the Sting song in the quotes.
So here's the beautiful song.. Heard first in my 240SX. LOVE.
I LOVE good piano
in a song. Just good "music" as well.I'm hearing the synth at the end, I think I hear a lyre in the beginning? ... unless the funky part is part harmonica??
It sounds like an "Elegaic solo from a Northumbrian small pipe." I can place the classical guitars (a lyre?,) the soft shake,.. that leaves two..
I know we mentioned "poorly recorded violin." I'm not sure anything in a Sting song would be poorly recorded?
You could very well be right, I just need to hear the other instrument now lol.
For synthesizer magic, I go to (at this moment) Moody Blues 'In Your Wildest Dreams'...
^^^ hmmm...
