And I thought the topic of this discussion was going to be:
"How many uilleann pipers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"
That is funny, in any case. My question is, however, has he taken into account inhabitable landmass? I think that would affect the figure even further, not to mention a slew of other criteria that would make it even funnier.

"NPU does not have every piper in the world on our books, and every
'piper' on our books might only have a tenuous hold on that title.
Nevertheless, here are our figures:
Ireland: 906
USA: 524
Britain: 442
Australia: 101
Germany: 75
France: 64
Canada: 56
Italy: 29
Spain: 29
New Zealand: 28
Japan: 24
Netherlands: 24
Switzerland: 21
Sweden: 20
Belgium: 16
Denmark: 9
Finland: 5
Norway: 5
2 each in Oman, Luxembourg, Argentina, Brazil, Greece and Israel 1 each
in Uruguay, Bermuda, Croatia, Czech Republic, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Russia, Portugal, Pakistan, Malaysia, Mexico & South Africa.
A total of 2,402 I believe.
Terry Moylan"
