I'm new to Uilleann pipes and I was introduced to them by a good friend who directed me here. I do not know a lot about them and hence have lots of beginners type questions I'd like to ask.
My main big questions is that are there rules as to what beginners should be asking. I know other boards like you to read a FAQ which answers basic questions.
Is there one on this board? If so I can't find it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I don't know of any official rules about question content.
It's worth using the archive/search facility, I'm told, as many beginner questions repeat themselves...so you might just come across your answer immmediately.
If the question has been asked & answered a dozen times in the recent past, the enthusiasm of responders will be less if the same question appears again!!
Anyway, good luck with your piping

Thanks for the welcome and guidance about using the board. Boyd I am originally from Glasgow but for sometime have lived between Manchester and Carlisle.
Tony I don't get intimidated easily! However I know what you mean...I'll probably just read all the back posts to learn some more.
Nice to meet you.

Hi George,
Seth Gallagher has a nice FAQ section on his website, http://www.uilleann.com
Patrick D'Arcy's website has a vast amount of information:

Hope this helps,
Larry Dunn

There's a bunch of uilleann pipers in Glasgow, so if you get back there you could meet up with some of them.
[I've got contacts for just about all U. pipers at all levels of experience in Scotland].
It really pays to have a few players around you...means you have lots of advice, different instruments to look at and try, and people who've already made all the mistakes able to tell you what to do or what to avoid.

What is the collective term for several uilleann pipers?.....a gaggle? ...a triplet? [etc]...
