High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Great Irish Warpipes (Irish: piob mhor; literally "great pipes") are an instrument that in modern practice is identical, and historically was analogous or identical to the Great Highland Bagpipe. "Warpipes" is an English term; The first use of the Gaelic term in Ireland is recorded in a poem by John O'Naughton (c. 1650-1728), in which the bagpipes are referred to as pib mhor. The piob mhor has a long and significant history in both Ireland and in Scotland, though the Scottish tradition has somewhat overshadowed the Irish one in the past 200-300 years. In Gaelic Ireland and Scotland, the bagpipe seems to have become an instrument of war no earlier than sometime in the 15th or early 16th century. An Irish Gaelic version of “Fierabas” may contain our first reference to Warpipes: the quote “sinnter adharca agus piba agaibh do tinol bur sluaigh” translates as “let horns and pipes be played by you to gather your host.”
