The springs are made of phosphor bronze and are secured by screws for ease of maintenance. These keys can be ordered with the instrument or installed by the maker at a future date. They are meticulously crafted, in tune and easy to reed. Uilleann pipes are the traditional Irish bagpipe that we all love from the recordings of Planxty, The Bothy Band, The Chieftains and many others. The Uilleann pipes are winded with a bellows and played sitting down.
All sets come without keys.
The Irish pipes are a fairly difficult instrument to play but very rewarding. It is suggested that anyone that plays the Uilleann pipes should make their own reeds. These are some of the finest pipes ever made.
