GUEST,Kevin Rietmann Uileann pipes and Louis XIV (20) RE: Uileann pipes and Louis XIV 08 Mar 16

Sorry, make that 'Sourdeline,' not symphonia.

Irish chanters are conical bores, the clarinet's is cylindrical. I was talking about the construction, overall shape/profile, keywork, complex bores, things like that.

There really weren't "folk" takes on the Irish pipes until the musicians came to America, and you had hobbyists turning out the odd set of pipes, with amateur makers in Ireland turning out stuff a bit later. Sets from the 19th/18th centuries were invariably made by professional makers; some of them weren't so hot, too.
