GUEST,Les in Chorlton, Manchester Uilleann Pipes (180* d) RE: Ullean Pipes 09 Sep 03


At the start of this thread I was searching for the evolution of the Uillean pipes, which seem to me to be a modern piece of technology. The general consenus seems to support this suggestion. Much else has been explored, some more rigorously and honestly than other.

People have been using cattle and sheep for sometime (10 thousand years?). Pipes seem a bit old and using bags to blow them pops up all over the place. Lots of origins seem a fair bet. But them Uilleans are high techy things are they not?

I suggest somebody sat down and made one based on prior experience of bellows/bag pipes. Is this correct?
