It's not even fecking Irish, though!
I think he's playing the Irish pipes, not the Scottish ones.
They're equally awful.

You mean he’s playing the píobaí uilleann.
I actually prefer them to the Scottish pipes.
Elbows up!

Which sounds better, a cat being strangled or castrated?
Actually, I don't generally mind the sound of either. Just not outside my office.

I’m pretty sure that’s a more modern (~1800) name for the pipes that came from a poem referring to the original Irish War Pipes . Later the Uillen Pipes refer a specific modified design.

Irish War Pipes predate the Highlander Pipes by 100 years. The question is if both pipes were inspired by the Roman instruments…

Could be. Celtic music enthusiasts here - and believe there are many- just refer to them as Uilleann pipes as opposed to bagpipes.

I think the Uilleann pipes are the ones that utilize the elbow bag and have a far softer and less nasally tone. Far more musical…

Yes those are the Irish pipes I am talking about. The bag is like a bellows you pump with your arm and the player normally plays while sitting. The kind Paddy Keenan play.
