A big 'hey ya'll' to Lor and McGrath . . .

Seems this thread has definitely drifted from the potentially very interesting topic of uillean pipes; so, ya'll get back to it, OK?

Does anyone know of other good resources that discuss the history of the pipes (all kinds)? For my part, it seems that the idea for the pipes can be found in many ancient cultures, just as the idea of the flute and/or whistle can be found).

All the best, Áine (descendant of both Pipers and Travellers, and damn proud of it)
