    1. Re: [S-I] SCOTCH-IRISH Digest, Vol 5, Issue 13--musical instrument

    3. I hope this is an ok question. We are watching a group called Celtic Thunder on PBS. One of the musicians is playing an instrument that looks like a bagpipe(Scottish connection) but he does blow into it. It is controlled by his arm pumping and fingering on a a long reed with airholes.(He is Irish) Is my description enough for anybody to identify? Douglas Burnett Satellite Beach FL

    3. If it's the instrument you see in groups like The Chieftains, it's the Uilleann Pipes.

    3. It's a bellows operated bagpipe. Cliff.
