Description

The uilleann pipes are the characteristic national bagpipe of Ireland. Earlier known in English as "union pipes", their current name is a partial translation of the Irish language terms píobaí uilleann, from their method of inflation.

Micing Uilleann pipes

Hey all, Thought I needed to seek some experience and wisdom an micing. Doing my wife's second album (Cletic gospel), and about to record uilleann pipes.
I've not recorded them before and considering the different exits the sound comes out, I want to be sure that I mic it right.
It seems to me that ambient sound could be important with such an instrument - what think ye.
