Tune question, Need an experienced piper's help

Can The Gael be played on a set of pipes? I can play it on my GHB’s but I always thought that it would be neat to play it with a fiddler at a sesh to irritate the session boss.

I don’t see why not.
Looking at the sheet music here (http://www.mohicanpress.com/images/Gael_SheetMusic.jpg), you could play it as written no problem (good practise for staccato repeated notes in the second octave), or if you want to preserve the relationship with the drones you could transpose it to E minor, then find a way to deal with the resulting G# (key, half-hole, find a substitute).

Or as this Uilleann piper, play it with an orchestra :smiley:

His pipes sound pretty flat throughout. Sad.
