Northumbrian pipes have a very sweet, almost "birdsong" trilling sound. I
think Mike Oldfield used them in "Ommadawn"
(from Gaelic amadan, 'song') by the way, I think. The most famous exponent
of the NPs is Kathryn Tickell (who as well as being official piper to the
mayor of Newcastle, is one dem' fine-lookin' woman! :-)  ).
