An odd camera angle and not the greatest audio quality, but here's instrument maker (sometimes including Uilleann pipe chanters) Paddy Martin playing Pachelbel's Canon on Uilleann pipes, with guitar and fiddle accompaniment. I love Baroque music played on UP.

A few new videos this week!

I enjoyed it as well. Thanks for posting this.

Were there any difficulties with getting UP chanter and keyboard to harmonize well, considering intonation differences?

No, not really. With a well-tuned chanter, even in JT, the harmonic frictions are manageable, as long as you stick to the pipes-friendly keys.
