Robert Reid was also active in making Union Pipes; the precursor to modern Uilleann pipes. Union pipes early-19th century keyed D-Chanter; by the pipe maker Robert Reid Henry Clough (I) was known to play a Reid set of Union pipes including regulators; surviving parts of this set are now in private hands.
The most common are the two-voiced bagpipes. The three-voiced bagpipes have an additional small drone pipe called slagarche (pronounced slagar'-che) (Macedonian: слагарче). They can be found in certain parts of Macedonia, most of them in Ovče Pole (Macedonian: Овчеполието). [7]
William Talbot [1] was a 19th century player, teacher, repairer and builder of the Irish bagpipes, commonly known as the uilleann pipes, the characteristic national bagpipes of Ireland. In 1821 he played for King George IV [ 2 ] at the Dublin Theatre Royal when the King visited Dublin in August 1821. [ 3 ]
In modern Uilleann pipes, the player will move from the lower to the upper register by stopping the chanter momentarily while increasing the bag pressure, causing the reed to double-tone. However, in the pastoral pipe, the same effect can be achieved by increasing the bag pressure while playing a suitable gracenote.
Patrick A. 'Patsy' Brown (1872 in Ireland – 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States) was an Irish-American maker of the uilleann pipes.Originally from Killorglin, County Kerry, Ireland, he emigrated to the United States in 1892, making his home first in Chicago and then the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
After that, there could still be a section (much shorter and less emphasized) about the practice/half/full set thing - but people looking for a general description of the uilleann pipes should get a description of the pipes in their full form, first and foremost. Then the section can be broken down into more detailed descriptions of each component.
