November 2, 201114 yr Hey guys, I'm new here. I've been listening to this song on my ipod for a while lately, and I'm not quite sure what the instrument is. It sounds like a bagpipe but beyond that I'm stuck. The link to listen to it is here http://www.mediafire...9kvzg3mybvfz3o. The names is Last of the Mohicans - Riverdance which is throwing me off because I don't believe bagpipes are culturally native american. I appreciate the help, thanks. Try to be as specific as you can, if for example it is a bagpipe say great highland bagpipe or irish uilleann pipes.
November 3, 201114 yr Sounds pretty much like the Uillean Pipes, just that tremolo like frullato :hmmm: .... but these pipes are not blown, it has a sort of "reservoir" like a pipe organ, in the pipe organ a tremolo is produced (sometimes) by a different smaller reservoir that moves itself with the air flow, probably this is a modified Uillean Pipe, because the timbre surely is. (I don't know the name in english for "fuelle", in french is "reservoir". )
