vPipes®-Uilleann is an electronic Uilleann Pipes emulator that allows you to play in a variety of situations, with drones, that would be impractical, impossible or inconsiderate with an acoustic set of pipes.
...hyper-realism . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The vPipes' unprecedented and unequalled level of hyper-realism in emulating popping, glissando, portamento, ghost D's & vibrato techniques is based on continuous sensor technology. You can play in any key with or without drones, fine tune in cents, modify 'reed hardness' etc. It has also been doted with a MIDI interface for those interested in investigating other realms. The range of functions included is easily controlled via the key-pad and display that is built into the chanter, thus converting the vPipes into a tool with limitless possibilities.
...portability . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The vPipes is freestanding and independent. For ease of use and portability, vPipes' built-in battery charger recharges the “no-memory-effect” Li-Ion batteries.

While travelling you may want to use standard earphones; if in a more permanent set up you can connect it to any type of speaker, amplifier or hi-fi system and professional configurations for stage events, recording studio etc.
