I kinda enjoyed it.
A quarter tone flat and a half a beat behind.
What can I do to erase that image from my mind? Please help.
She's a Swedish musician playing a Scottish instrument to American big band swing.
Gotta love the moxie it takes to even think of that, much less pull it off in front of a crowd.

I thought it was a nice substitution for saxaphone in that context. Certainly visually fun for the audience.
Gunhild Carling seems to be a very talented multi instrumentalist.

yes, but what is it? and what kind of bagpipes are those?

Multi-instrumentalist alright, and apparently a talented composer too, she wrote the music and words for this next video. 1920-style dance I guess?

A commenter at the following (different) video says "Flemish pipes", I have no idea if that's accurate, but it might be a starting point for further research. Also I haven't yet compared to see if the OP video bagpipes are similar. And there *is* a banjo shown briefly at 2:55 although it's just backing I guess (I can't even hear the banjo). Nice bent notes (starts about 1:39) on Amazing Grace on those pipes:

The Bagpipe Society website says this about Flemish bagpipes:
The Bagpipe Society page referenced above, has a YouTube video example of Flemish pipes, I can't embed it here because there seems to be a 3-video limit nowadays, anyway here's the direct link."Bruegel or Flemish Pipes... are reconstructed from those depicted by Renaissance painter, Peter Bruegel the elder... often sound and play just like a Southern English Border Pipe, the only difference being the 'geometry'... Although no historical instruments survive, there are many detailed paintings which allows modern reconstructors to make informed judgements about likely pitch and drone configuration. Excellent for Early Music."
That's all I got, in the bagpipe-research department.
Trivia: For what it's worth, according to a baby name website,
Seems to fit what we see in the videos. Definitely an entertainer."Gunhild is a name of Old High German origin and means "fighter". [And people with that name] have an enthusiastic and happy spirit that makes them great fun to be around. Cheerful and open-minded, they also often have a great sense of humour."
Edited to add:
Not a bad singer either, when she sets her mind to it: singing. Pretty versatile. Oh, and that video has backing tenor banjo too.

Apparently many other members of her family are musicians as well.

Hey, I've never seen anyone else do all that! She has quite an act!
Besides, she swings hard on bagpipe.
Brings to mind Rufus Harley, jazz bagpipe player now deceased. Gave a great interview on NPR quite a few years ago. I love it when instruments really cross genres!

They look like Flemish pipes or similar. Anyway she's a great performer and nice to see the dudelsack used like this!
