They are saying goodbye in their own way. Playing outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker describes a farewell expressed through music, with both the tunes and the instruments forbidden. Saying goodbye in this way also means crossing a boundary imposed on that expression. The repeated word 'outlawed' gives the personal gesture an edge of defiance.
