Cillian and Bríd Ó Briain of Dingle, County Kerry take mass-produced whistles and rework them, refining the tuning and reshaping the fipple blade. The blade is filed by hand using clear plastic, reportedly repurposed from CD cases. Cillian Ó Briain is better known as one of the most respected uilleann pipe makers working today, and the same care is evident here.
