So, I got finished building my new David Daye Uilleann pipes. Black chanter with a real leather bag...SOOOOO nice. Step 2: learn how to play. It takes a lot of work to use the bellows! Maybe I just haven't sealed the thing up completely. I'll go over it tonight and check the seals. I think the most difficult part will be learning the new fingerings. Shouldn't be too bad, but I know to get sounding good enough for a session, it'll take a lot of work!

If anybody knows a uilleann instructor in Galway, let me know!!! I've already got lessons set up in Madison, I just need a tutor for when I'm living in Ireland.

Pictures to come soon.
