Very informative. Thank for sharing your skills. In Ireland we called Bagpipes (blown by the mouth) Píobai Choghaidh - War Pipes. We call the "sit down and play" pipes "Píobai Uilleann"-Elbow Pipes.

Great work and dedicated efforts. Thanks.

Not Celtic, just Irish

I loved hearing about how bagpipe varieties truly being worldwide. Even the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, living in the Middle Eastern country, has a bagpipe band.

Thanks you. ❤❤❤❤bless you❤❤❤❤

Magnificent story and life. Lord bless the maker of goodness of which no words are required. Well done, sir. Fine pipes they are.

You forgot to mention that they did not originate in Ireland. Called Union Pipes before Uilleann, but that name wouldn't do of course.

Great stuff....wink

Such beautiful sound

The real Irish bagpipes are blown from the mouth the great Irish war pipes they were outlawed by the British.

Absolutely fascinating- as a Scot, I’ve loved the sound of the Irish pipes for years…..also very interested in the difference between the chanter finger movements of the uillean pipes and those of the “big” pipes. Many thanks for this first class presentation.

How can i get in touch with Aodán? I've sent a few emails, through his website, but theres no response?

What a inspiring video... the ethics of that man in terms of craftmanship really reminds me of my old values, about making stuff or creating things that could resist pass of time. At this moment of my life i only play a few wind instruments but planning to expand further into the flutes/pipes section... Amazing video

Superb, fascinating, and beautifully filmed.

A true artisan. Huge respect to you

I’m so glad he mentioned bagpipe varieties being global. More people need to play more instruments IMHO.

Lovely work and interview, well done. Respect from kilkenny and Galway

This was such a pleasure to watch. What an inspiring Gent, I absolutely loved hearing about his dedication to the craft. In a world of mass production it was a breath of fresh air.

Fantastic. God bless. From Limerick.

She is a goldsmith, not silversmith

Hi Adrian its me Phill Yates I'm still playing your set and recently purchased a set of David Goldsworthy pipes studying on line as well still practicing and enjoying every moment Thank you so much my friend All the best

That GH5 grade though 🔥

i wonder if someone will find his pipes in 200 years time then watch this video in high quality and think wow this video is 200 years old and i have the pipes this man was talking about !!

This certainly inspires me to continue on my learning journey and perhaps some day invest in Jaff's pipes. Amazing craftsmanship and great to see someone maintain the arts.

Well I guess when you'll be making a video about a pianist maker their will be Uillean pipes all along the video... I didn't watch 'till the end because of that., I did jump but couldn't find a timing when you can hear his pipes sounding... Is their one actually ?

Excellent video. Its like a documentary, very enjoyable.

Wait... That's how you pronounce it??? Oh boy have I been saying it wrong for 20+ years. Lol.

Maith an fear.

Lovely. It's a shame we couldn't hear them. Is there a place we can?

amazing craftmanship!!

Love the accent love the work cause I have dabbled in it myself

Can unavi any views send me Jeff's number because I want him to make a set of pipes for me would be great if you could send me

I agree with the rest of the group. Very well produced video and heartwarming to hear from a true craftsman. It's nice hearing from people who still take pride in their work.

I found me a vendor that makes good synthetic reeds for Uilleann pipes. It helps me because, until I save up enough, I am able to play the pipe Chanter and it be in tune and beautiful.

This sounds like a $5000 job...wow!

This video is so soothing hearing this guy!. And I play bagpips...but I love Ullian pipes. Thank you 😊

Pipes be ‘illin

Very interesting and inspiring

This is 👌👌👌👌👌

Jaff, I am of the clan O’Neill of Shane’s castle. My 5 time Great Grandfather Hugh O’Neill was born there and then immigrated to America. Is it possible to purchase a set of your pipes? I am 75 years old and want my Grandchildren to continue knowing their heritage.

Great video! Of course everything must be louder in The States... Cheers from Sweden!

One of my most favorite and moving sounds. Glad to know it’s history and a bit about one of the makers. Love to see true artists and craftsmen at work.

The Uilleann pipes are amazing and I am inclined to listen to Finbar Furey more than anyone else !

Wonderful film. It's very lovely to dive deeper into this craftsmanship.

Great passion and earnestness. A well shot and produced film as well. Thanks for sharing!

Jaff made a half set for me and I enjoying playing them almost everyday. A fine craftsman and super to work with during the process of having them made and even after I brought them home.

Simply beautiful

I made my own set of David Daye style "penny-chanter" pipes, where it's made from stacks of brass tube instead of a bored piece of wood. I'd like to get more serious into traditional pipemaking. Those chanter reeds really are the hard part though; especially trying to make a reed that plays well in more arid environments. Reedmaking actually got me into blacksmithing, just so that I could make the proper gouges needed to make the shape.

This is so lovely, I appreciate her storytelling of her soul. History, poems and her craftsmanship, so beautiful!
