- Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

Re: UIlleann pipes for Highland Pipers
Hello all,
I went to this class last year in East Durham at the NorthEast Tionol with Skip. As a brand new uilleann piper having just received my pipes the day before it was well worth it to keep me on the right track so I don't just sound like a a GHB trying to play uilleann pipes.
All the best,
Erik van der leeuw
