About this app

Uilleann is an easy to play and authentic sounding concert pitch (D) set of Irish Uilleann bagpipes.


Uilleann Free is ad-supported and plays in the key of D.


The Uilleann bagpipes are a bellows driven set of bagpipes used for traditional Irish music.

This style of bagpipes have a set of drones that play continuously and may be switched on or off.

The melody is played on the chanter.

Touch the notes on the chanter to play.

Like a real chanter, only one note may be played at a time.

Touch the grey blocks next to the chanter to jump the octave.

Touch the drone puck to start/stop the drone.

Touch the "?" to show/hide the labels

Touch the AppCordions logo in the lower left corner to visit the AppCordions app catalog website.

Play along with tunes in your music library by starting the music playing, then switching to the Uilleann app.

The sounds are based on per-note samples from my own set.

Ratings and reviews

Sounds decent, but without crans, rolls, cuts, and other ornamentation being possible, I might as well use a generic synth program. Quicker responsiveness needed. I just checked out their other offerings. Dang, the Englitina app allows for ornamentation!

I have a practice set so I put my phone on the floor and play regs with my feet I find it great but it could have been better if there was a C and maybe a B half set😉

Nowhere near sounding realistic and the noting is terrible I get your trying to make it feel like the real thing but this impossible to play.
