Friendly to what sort of pipes? Uilleann? Highland?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Richard, I was trying to bring up a link to clarify the content of the book in question and found five years ago you wrote this on thesession:

It’s a lovely book, that rare book that has, as the title says, pipe-friendly settings.

Perhaps you already know the answer to your question?

The full title is "The Cumann Na bPiobairí Collection of Pipe-Friendly Tunes" by John Walsh and published by the Irish Pipers' Club in Seattle, WA, USA. The Introduction begins, "This is a collection of tunes for the uilleann pipes."

Best wishes.
