I enjoy listening to both Irish and Scottish pipes playing together. We are the same Celtic peoples and perhaps a Celtic union will rise in the future.
I was lucky enough to have two uilleann pipers at my dad’s funeral. They were great. Sometimes two uilleann pipes together don’t go well. This was spot on though.

My daughter wants to learn the Ulleann pipes but having difficulty finding a teacher in Offaly. We are looking at a set of Ian kinnear smallpipes instead, any idea of any teachers in Offaly?
Hey Donny, smallpipes and Uilleann pipes are quite different, with smallpipes fingering being identical to Scottish highland pipes. Learning the smallpipes would start with a practice chanter, same as highland pipes. It looks like there’s a pipe band called St. Comcille’s in Tullamore. I would reach out to them about a teacher.
@@MichaelSupples Hi Michael , I called them yesterday and no joy. I called Ian kinnear and he has a year and a half waiting list. My brother is a pipe major who wrote a thesis on Ian Kinnear and can be found on his Web site. He doesn't know much about the Ulleann pipes but highly recommends Ian's smallpipes. My daughters teacher was Ashling Murphy and we have been unable to find another teacher after what that bastard did to her. The smallpipes have a great tune out of them.
So what would you call this? It's kind of tough to categorize, like "Mingulay Boat Song"... Is it a "retreat march"? It's not a "waltz" or a "9/8", for sure, and I don't think it's a "slow aire"... Your thoughts?
Where do you live? There are a few uilleann pipe teachers in my area (western US)... Do you already play the GHB? Do you already own the basic UP set? (Aka a "goose"... I don't think they have mouth-blown practice chanters for UP, but I'm not sure... I think they always start you on a goose...)
Uilleann pipes have a two-octave range. The chanter (melody pipe) can be closed to be silent, which is an important way to articulate notes. Scottish pipes (most varieties) have nine notes only and an open chanter. That's why the articulation is more of a "chirpy" sound, if that makes sense. Those are some of the differences, for starters.

If there is just one thing I like in life, it's a pipe, any sort of pipe, that is in tune. Drones, the lot. Well done guys.
Hard to beat Uilleann drones! Especially that bass drone.
@@MichaelSupples - Absolutely. There's something quite haunting and utterly beautiful about Uilleann Pipes.
They are so beautiful together. I should know I'm Scottish and Irish myself
I love the way those grace note strikes mark the rhythm!
A lot of "E" grace notes, I noticed too
When it's right, it's right, an daaam that was righteous.
Very well done. Nice job.
Thank God for most of my Heritage which is Scottish ❤️🙏 love this. Thank you.
Amazing duet,great
Gorgeous. Magnificent.
In Ireland the "Bagpipes" are called "Píobaí Choghaidh"/ "War Pipes".
The combined sound of the N.P. & U.P. here was great. Thanks.
The Northern Pacific and Union Pacific? :^)
Excellent!
great combination
Simply beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to put it all together.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I've started playing flute recently and I have a few smallpipe + flute duos coming down the pipeline :)
I was lucky enough to have two uilleann pipers at my dad’s funeral. They were great. Sometimes two uilleann pipes together don’t go well. This was spot on though.
Absolutely brilliant, love this duet mate. Fantastic work :)
Thanks a ton!
Can you do a video of you playing that song in the Highland bagpipes?

Can you play that song on the highland bagpipes?
Slow March of Clan O’Donoghue Mor....
I want to learn the uilleann pipes but don't where to start none of the pipe bands around me have any players

Beautiful sounding pipes. Who is the maker of your SP’s and IP’s. The indypipe domain doesn’t exist.
Smallpipes are MacLellan. UP chanter is Seery and the drones are Cooley (but essentially completely remade by me).
who made your uilleann pipes?
who made your bellows ?

@@MichaelSupples Well, looks like he just up and quit.
Whats the difference in the Scottish small pipes and Uilleann pipes?
Uilleann pipes have a two-octave range. The chanter (melody pipe) can be closed to be silent, which is an important way to articulate notes. Scottish pipes (most varieties) have nine notes only and an open chanter. That's why the articulation is more of a "chirpy" sound, if that makes sense.

@@JohnMcKLV thank you. Very helpful.
Vive l'Ecosse !
What key are those small pipes in?
Those are in A
Aontach deas.. Maith sibh
It‘s called „The Mermaid“…….
Thanks! Didn't know it had an alternate name!
