Is this in the A key or B flat? Nice sound.

Steve, thanks. I just heard from Kim, at Gibson, that the hole spacing for different keys IS different. But if the key is the same, the spacing for the fingerholes is the same, regardless of whether the pipes are Ceilidhs or Firesides. Also, the A chanter (I believe this is right...) is longer than the the B-flat chanter and the holes begin further down the pipe.

Thanks for the kind reply, and for sharing your music with us. Best, Larry.

Steve, kind of you to post all this. It's a delight, music and images.

A question: is the fingering for an A chanter on the Gibson Ceilidhs different from that of B-flat on the Firesides? That is, different dimensions of hole placement?

Thanks, Larry, in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

@MrTanbark Glad you like the tune. I think the placement of the holes on the Ceilidhs are the same as the fireside pipes, but I'm not positive on that. Check Gibson's website:
