Actually 9 holes, if you count the bottom D hole at the bottom of the chanter which is opened and closed on the knee and actually 8 notes if you factor in the Cnat note that can be obtained without a "key" like on a tin whistle.:wink:

I was once "forced" to give the uileann pipes a try by the owner of a hostel on Achill Island. It sounded like a dying animal. Which obviously is not one of the nicest sounds around ... :lol:

I bet the question has been raised a million times after people heard the instrumental break in D. O. T.


It's amazing what you can get from 6 holes and a sweaty armpit :idea:


I don't think that was Spider on DOT.
