Introductory video of a series in which I explore just how difficult it is to learn to play the Uilleann Pipes.
Disclaimers:
I play snippets of Irish Traditional Music on a number of instruments in this video - I am doing so merely to set a benchmark demonstrating my current skill, and am NOT claiming mastery at any of these. My best self-assessment would be "advanced beginner" on the flute and whistles, and somewhere below that on the concertina.
Cool dude! I look forward to watching your video entries for what may be in store for me with the pipes. Good luck!!!

21 years? Naaaaah. The highland pipes took 4 months to win my first competition. I think it'll be a breeze with your broad experience. The Uillean pipes are definitely on my to do list. I have 8 years on the great highland pipe so I think it'll help too.

I can't believe this video has not comments yet. Great job spelling it out. I took a similar route with less formal teaching. Piano lessons, tin whistle, low D whistle. Skipped the flute and on to the uilleann pipes. Great challenge! 21 years! Game on!
