Click on his YouTube account and you'll find a clip of him playing a practice set. It gives a clearer idea of what his pipes (and piping) sound like.

What's really shameless is that this is being used to flog Geoffrey pipes on eBay!! May God have mercy on his soul ...

For $.99, anyone can sound exactly like that! Yeah, went to Amazon and searched for "star county down uilleann". Guess what recording popped up? Shameless.

Just check his other video clips with mid east pipes and you will get a good idea what the UP set would sound like without the addition of the "VR-module".

Not removed. It's only accessible to "friends" of the poster (or should that be im-poster).

Thanks, David and everyone for sharing the Uilleann piping videos! I don't play pipes...yet. But, I sure look forward to coming to this thread and watching the videos. I'm still working on playing whistle and some flute. Hmmm...a practice or quarter set from a recommended maker would only cost about.... :) Cheers!
