Frederick Stafford I have always wanted to play these pipes. I am absolutely in love with them. Yet everytime I am confronted with how theyre actually played, I become overwhelmed, break out in sweats and experience horrible IBS.

I remember watching this back in 2013 and peeling with laughter, only to find that nobody in the comments had any sense of humour and blindly insisted on correcting his pronunciation. Several years have since passed and, low and behold, nothing has changed. It's a joke, guys. Come on.

OMG, I was just starting to look for instructional videos on the uillean pipes because of the lovely, haunting sound. Stumbled on this, and was slightly confused by the "Comedy" category. By the time he had started playing for a minute or so, I was crying with laughter, literally. Well done! - But I don't think I'll be trying to learn anytime soon!

Isn't it pronounced "illan" instead of "oolian"? I'd assume the first thing to get right is the damn name of the instrument. :)
@TruthSurge

flip inheck words have dialects, names do not. It is in fact pronounced "Illan" as in Gillan w/o the G. Names are (should be) always pronounced the way they should be pronounced (ie, as the people HOLDING the name say it). Illan. Not Yoolean. If you look up vids of Irish people saying it, you'll see this is true. But hey, prove me wrong! I'll accept it if I am wrong.

flip inheck Well, then apparently I'm wrong. But this guy gives Illan as the main one and Illian as an alt. www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=uilleann Another vid I found pronouncing it. How to Say or Pronounce Uilleann Pipes But I think it may be you and some others are just saying it phonetically (how it's spelt). Rock on.

Anywhere I've been I've heard uilleann (being the irish for elbow) pronounced as illun, so I can attest that it's pronounced illun in munster, leinster and connaught gaelic, and illun/ullun in ulster gaelic.
@TruthSurge

platinum9654 I think for me, I'm going with the consensus of people where the pipes came from and it sounds like the consensus is "Illan". So, that's going to be my ponunciation.

Why don't people take personal responsibility. You should have used the toilet before viewing the vid ! Its funny how the human body excretes liquids ! When he started to "play" tears would NOT stop rolling down my cheeks. So I thought I would conduct a experiment ; to see how many times I could replay the part where he starts playing. I made it to seven. Had to stop. I was soaked in tears, sweating profusely, muscles aching, feeling dizzy. and the missus thought I'd lost it ! Happy days !
