It may be no accident then that Seán Mc Keon opens up the 4th “Art of Uilleann Piping” tutorial DVD with “Lark in the Morning,” if I recall correctly.

That’s impressive, Michael. It looks like you are getting very close to having a digital full set of pipes.

No problem, I understand. Someone has inquired about them, so let me see if he still wants them. If not and if you’re still in a fix, I’d be happy to send them.

Are you saying that you open both holes with your upper hand’s index finger and thumb, i.e., vent those two holes as you go to bottom D an...
