The history of Uillean pipes. Apparently, the first bagpipes used in Ireland were very similar to the pipes in the highland area of Scotland. They are known as the "great Irish war pipes". In Irish and Scottish Gaelic the instrument was called píob mhór, meaning 'great pipe'. "The Warpipe", was well known on the battlefields of Na Píobairí Uilleann (NPU), the Society of Uilleann Pipers was founded in 1968 when there were less than 100 uilleann pipers remaining. Today NPU is a thriving arts organisation dedicated to Sharing the Sound of Ireland through Access, Education, Performance and Preservation.
