Can you play them Clippy? Me and my bro back the 80's bought a practice set, £500 even then and scarcely managed to get a squeak out of them! So effing difficult, think we swapped them for something else...
Have a yearning to have another go - in fact, while I'm here........Comment

Originally posted by stek View PostPractice set is soo hard, bellows, bag, chanter and popping strap, God knows how you can manage enough blow for drones and use your lower arm on the regulators on the full set!
I can play just about anything but my favourite instrument is a closed door despite trying so when writing and recording I use samples to get close to the sound I want. So I have a set of uillean pipe samples that come close with some manipulation.Comment
