Ireland’s rich tradition of bagpipes includes the iconic Uilleann pipes, known for their melodic, bellows-driven sound and central role in traditional Irish music. Alongside them, the Great Irish Warpipes, once used in battle, boast a deep, booming tone, though they are less common today. The Pastoral pipes, an 18th-century precursor to the Uilleann pipes, also play a part in Ireland’s piping history. Together, these instruments represent Ireland’s deep musical heritage and continue to influence both national identity and global music.
