Torupilli (Estonian for 'bagpipe') is a subdistrict (Estonian: asum) in the district of the Kesklinn (City Center) district in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. It has a population of 3,729 .[1]
Torupilli is named after the Torupilli Inn, which stood across the street at the intersection of Tartu Street (Tartu maantee) and C. R. Jakobson Street (C. R. Jakobsoni tänav ). The inn, attested as early as 1803, had an image of a bagpiper on its sign. The name is also seen in the street name (literally, 'bagpipe end').[2]
