small pipes are much easier.. but that is an ulliaen pipe . small pipes or fireside pipes are a smaller version of the great highland bagpipe

These are Scottish smallpipes - a bellows blown pipe with drones in a common stock and parallel bore chanter. Uilleann pipes have a conical bore chanter. They are bigger, but also have the drones (and regulators) in a common stock and are bellows blown. See my video of Jerry O'Sullivan.

Fireside pipes and similar miniature highland pipes are not really smallpipes (though they are small pipes). The Victorians refered to these types of pipes as chamber pipes or parlour pipes.

I have a christmas bagpiping CD and on the back of the CD it says Iain MacHarg for the bagpiper. Are you the same one? Nice piping by the way

[bagpipediscsdotcom]

This is the same Iain MacHarg.

spoons are irritating

[kengle1]

Love how the annoying chick with the spoons thinks she's playing a real instrument.

[BenH109]

What's the name of the tune Iain is playing?

[adamvbass93]

Excuse me sir, you could use more drones.

Love the Vid

Boy is it weird to find yourself on the internet 10 years later. Iain wrote these jigs and we recorded them on his solo album "Rooted in Tradition." That's my brother next to Iain holding his set of smallpipes.

okay no more spoons!

[kengle1]

They're also in a different key :-)

[BagpipeBoy58]

Sounds really good except for the spoons they are a bit to loud.

It's nice to see someone enjoying playing the spoons, but it's really annoying.
