Answers in this category: What is an Uilleann Pipe? I'd like to get started playing the Uilleann pipes. I keep hearing about practice sets, half sets, full sets and so on. What are the differences and which do I need to get started? Where do I get Uilleann pipes, and how much will they cost me? What else should I look for when starting? Do Uilleann pipes play a lot differently than Highland pipes?
