Uilleann and Uilleann-B Version 2.0 for iPad

Uilleann and Uilleann-B are authentic sounding sets of Irish bagpipes that are played like the real instrument.

The chanter fingerings are based on those used for the Uilleann pipes and will also be immediately familiar to Irish pennywhistle and flute players, who can use the fingerings they already know just by keeping the right little finger down.

The Uilleann (pronounced "ill-in") pipes are a bellows driven set of bagpipes with a two octave range. They are most commonly used for playing traditional Irish dance music and slow airs. In recent years they have been made popular by shows such as Riverdance, as well as many motion picture soundtracks such as "Waking Ned Devine", "Titanic", and "Braveheart".

This app emulates the three drones and chanter of a half set of "concert" pitch Uilleann pipes in the key of D. Uilleann-B is the same, but is pitched in B, three half-steps lower than a concert pitch set.

The chanter fingerings are essentially identical to the actual instrument.
