I'd really be interested in this too. I have an upcoming recording project that will feature traditional Irish players and instruments and so I'm currently trying to get a feel for these sounds.

Kevin, could you share any secrets about capturing great Bodhran, Uilleann pipes and Tin Whistle sounds?

When combining say Tin Whistle with 'modern' instruments, how do you deal with the differences in intonation from these more 'tempered' sounds of pianos and electric guitars against the 'natural' sounds of the pipes? Or isn't that an issue at all?

thanks!
