| The Peconic Warpipes of Long Island are available to play at all types of functions.The Warpipes have a long and significant history in Ireland and in Scotland, though the Scottish tradition, promoted by British regiments, has somewhat overshadowed the Irish one in the past 200 or years so.Our first relate to Henry VIII's siege of Boulogne.For if anyone (as is the practice of merrymakers when they want to give annoyance to these pipers) make even a pinhole in the skin the instrument is done for because the bag collapses.Thompson, who reportedly came from Hillsborough, Co.In the second half of the 19th century, however, the general revival of Irish nationalism and Gaelic culture seems to have coincided with a return of the popularity of the warpipes.The Irish Warpipes as played today are one and the same with the Scottish Highland bagpipe.Scottish Highland bagpipe, but the evidence on which they have based their claims is suspect.It can only be hypothesized at present, but there are several reasons to believe that the old Irish and Scottish pipes were more or less the same instrument.The following rough or inaccurate illustrations are known to survive:
1.Kilkenny, dating to the 15th or 16th century showing a piper with a shorter and a longer drone and a chanter.The picture is on the whole simplistic.Otherwise, however, the picture is quite rough and unrealistically proportioned.The chanter and drones seem to slightly bell out at the end.An illustration from around 1575 by Lucas DeHeere.There are again two drones, apparently in a common stock, and a large chanter, all of which end with flaring bell ends.Battle of Ballyshannon (1595 or thereabouts) thought to have been made by an English soldier present at the battle, is on the whole crude but somewhat more helpful.Highland pipes at Blair Castle.It is quite standard in design; it may well have been conceived as a "Scotch" bagpipe (like Coyne's pipes above), and may have been copied from a Scottish pattern.See Copyrights for details.WARPIPES has no contact information.We adhere to a strict privacy policy that means your information will not be shared, sold, or otherwise distributed.SiteCatalyst code version: H.Sub section 1
