uilleann pipes in transatlantic sessions

Hey guys,

Came across a few songs where Uilleann pipes are being used…anybody knows or can guess the pitches? They both sound like B or Bb but i’m not sure…

Kind regards,

The first one is in B and the second one is Bb.

Hey Tommy!

Thanks! You can also make a guess who made the sets? they both sound very good. :slight_smile: Perhaps
it has certain brandmarks of pipemakers?

I don’t know who made Mike McGoldrick’s B chanter but I’m fairly sure Ronan Browne’s Bb chanter was made by Peter Hunter.
The both sound lovely!

‘The open door’ is a favourite song!
Tommy: Does Ronan have an entire Bb set or he plays the chanter with his Harrington B-set?

Think Mike’s B chanter was made by David Lim from Manchester.
