I have found this website dealing with Irish Pipers.. check out the Galleries and see the new and old photos of Irish Pipers... also look at Gallery #5 and note the print of a painting of an Inniskilling Fusiliers Piper from 1870.

Thanks for posting that site peacekeeper. I have always liked the sound of the Irish Warpipes. Perhaps one of our pipers could explain why the difference in tone between the Great Highland Pipes and the Irish Warpipes.

Basically, the difference is two drones instead of three. And if you're using the Brian Boru chanter which can have up to fourteen keys could be fitted making it fully chromatic from low E to high c#. The GHB have only 9 notes.
