As we gather from 12th- and 13th-century depictions of bagpipes, the instruments from the period lacked the shoulder drones -a feature common to many present-day instruments- having in addition multiple-bore chanters (in my reconstruction a melodic pipe with a parallel drone). These chanters were probably activated by single reeds.
