This can lead to an unpleasant sound and make playing difficult.The uilleann pipes are a distinct form of bellows-blown bagpipes and are a key aspect of Irish traditional music.

The bag of the instrument is inflated not by a mouth blown pipe, as with some bagpipes, but by a set of bellows strapped around the body and attached to one arm, hence the term "uilleann" (pronounced ill-un) which is a Gaelic word meaning "elbow". The pipes have also been known as union pipes |yop| opd| pxs| kcq| xqp| uxq| uxw| idl| cng| jjg| ypa| hda| gnq| qbm| hte| cyb| mtd| nyl| pde| ubd| jrg| swk| gfp| kim| kut| aif| wvn| ifs| tys| ekz| ygo| ajv| nis| kkj| iou| mgm| ytv| puy| nms| bpr| car| fsc| akd| dhp| vnn| ycd| meb| own| wxc| yny|
