Hi, I’m after a copy, in any format, of the manual for the Irish Uileann pipes by Patrick Sky. Is Pat still with us or any family still moving his books?
Patrick sadly passed in 2021. I know his wife and son, and am blessed to be the custodian of Patrick’s beloved C set made by William Rowsome.
His family are not selling his books. That said I have a copy of the manual and if you like I can ask his wife whether she would object to me copying it and sharing it. It is an excellent resource.
When I was starting out I obtained Pat’s book via interlibrary loan - if you’re in the states that may be an option. It’s a decent job, not without its flaws, but it was something you could learn from. He was raked over the coals by somebody in Ceol or An Piobarie though…
