At Ceol na nGleannta/Music of the Glens School of Piping, our teachers have a particular specialization in traditional Irish music arranged for the Píob Mhór – Irish or Scots Gaelic for “Great Pipes” or “Big Pipes” a/k/a warpipes, highland pipes, great highland pipes or GHP’s). The tunes we teach in this context are the same ones played by uileann pipers or other musicians playing traditional Irish music, to the extent that they fit on the Big Pipes.
