You \\may// have a point on the true effects of pressure on the ability to breathe, but your analogies are way off; in particular, total pressure in bagpipes and tubas is \not/ high (can't give you numbers, but for comparison an organ will run 70-90 mmHg) while in artificial respiration you're balancing your active muscles against somebody else's inactive ones.
