Description
vPipes-Uilleann is a unique electronic uilleann bagpipes emulator that uses revolutionary technology resulting in a hyper-realistic experience in terms of sound quality, fingering and ornamentations. It thus affords the possibility of practising accurately in a variety of situations that would prove impractical or impossible with a real set of pipes.

My guess is that this is as close you can get to something that sounds like uilleann pipes without actually being a real set.

The thing that strikes you in particular is how well they respond to all the normal piping stuff — tight triplets, slides, vibrato, popping. Everything sounds just as it should and you don't have to adjust your technique at all. The chanter feels really natural to play and you very quickly forget it's an electronic instrument, said Sam Thompson.
