His first pipes were Rowsomes I'm pretty sure. I think his new drones and regs were made by the late Dave Williams, and the chanter by the American maker David Quinn.
Like Donald lunny said, paddy is the jimmy hendrix of the pipes! the best ever, here we know him like the possessed piper :). Any idea of the name of the tunes?
Paddy Keenan on an off-night is better than any piper living. Paddy when he's on and the pipes are sweet, no one better, living or dead. Passion, conviction, and a touch of the bizarre, like all great pipers.

O'Rourkes reel, Spike island lasses and another one - he does say at the start of the video.
I think Paddy is the best UP player ever heard. Have a listen to steam packet its a master piece.
Paddy Keenan at his best!
@pearse93 I asked him the other night, and I'm pretty sure he said Dave Williams -- it was loud in there. They're a copy of "his old set," he said.

John A Walsh is known more for his folk singing abilities ... no need to dis his guitar playing.
