Well, now! I think I'd be a great hit with all the honeys if I played some illin' pipes 8)
Honestly, I really ought to learn to play a non-wind instrument for once.

As long as you have a tutor, it's pretty much the same. I have a set, and they're a BLAST! Since the others in Barleyjuice have the Highland Pipes, it adds a completely different sound.
Not too many, save Davey Spillane, are playing them these days and the sound is haunting. It's worth a "look".
You can actually get a small set that works from www.irishshop.com
I've been looking for a set of beginners pipes for my daughter. She has a BA degree in music and plays every woodwind instrument from Piccolo to Baritone sax, with the Oboe being her major instrument. I checked out your link, but was unable to locate the Uileann Pipes on the site.

Uileann Pipes in the mountains? Ahhhhhhhhh!
nio jimmy i meant in opposite with the big pipe. but concerning contact with audience the uileann is better.
and do we learn the uileann without a chanter? i suppose the scottish chanter wouldn t have the same grips..?
i heard that the music from bravehaert was from a Uilieann, could this be?
nice to meet als a beginner brodi. have you tried yet to get a blow on the big highland pipe? i didn t checked this out. you are definitly right: i will learn on the chanter for myself, but with handling of the BHP i absolutley need a teacher.
also it s recommandable to get a book which includes a cd in order to timing.

Took a look at the site, but couldn't find the pipes. Lots of bohdrans though! Perhaps they have changed their catalogue after Christmas season?

Perhaps they have changed their website after 4 years. Check the dates of the posts.
