It has about as much to do with uilleann pipes as navel fluff has to do with World Peace.

Like I said earlier...'the Dark Side'. However, the dark side of what, I'm not sure.

PJ, I'm famous for not getting things.

There was a discussion on the Whistle Forum about a hornpipe made by another company:

http://www.highlandhornpipe.com/
People seemed quite happy with them. Is it the materials or the company that makes this so bad? I don't think plastic has to be a bad material for certain instruments. Do you think it is ugly? Well, maybe.

I have no knowledge of these, but I think I'd be more inclined to try the new one than the traditional model.

I believe it's a double pibgorn, aka a hornpipe. Nice quiet setting. The residents probably don't care how loud he plays. Actually, as I thinkabout it, cemetaries might be a good place to work on new tunes.
