Playing with the King

In the Royal Court that is traditional Irish music we all know we are having a audience with the King every time we strap on our pipes, but who is the Queen, Jack and so on? A lot of people would say the fiddle is the Queen but the harp is making a strong comeback here in Ireland, I think she would be a good contender for Queen. Maybe the flute would be the Jack. The accordion has got to be the Joker!

The flute would be Heir Apparent. :smiley:

The low whistle would be a prince among kings? :confused: :slight_smile:

King? What about the Ace (and duece) ?

No E

Grumpy??? what happened to the E with the slash???

If the Pipes are the king,

The Fiddle is the queen,

The Flute is the jack,

The Low Whistle is the prince,

The Harp is the princess,

The Box is the joker,

And the Bodhran is the Letrine Cleaner lol

And here I am thinking you all were talking about playing along with Leo Rowsome recordings or even with the old man himself.
