Pastoral Pipes

Pastoral Pipes

The Pastoral pipes were an 18th-century predecessor to the Uilleann pipes, played with both a bellows and a chanter that could play a full chromatic scale.

They were primarily used in England and Ireland before evolving into the modern Uilleann pipes.

The pastoral pipe (also known as the hybrid union pipes, organ pipe and union pipe) was a bellows-blown bagpipe, widely recognized as the forerunner and ancestor of the 19th-century union pipes, which became the uilleann pipes of today.

Pastoral Bagpipes

Similar in design and construction, it had a foot joint in order to play a low leading note and plays a two octave chromatic scale.
