If you haven't heard the track "Erebor" from the extended AUJ soundtrack, it's worth looking up, for a simple reason: bagpipes in middle-earth!

LOTRO seems to think it appropriate, as it is one of the most elite insruments a minstrel character can learn...but it's in there!
I picture the sounds that the lap version used by the Irish as a staple for Hobbits, and now that I think of it, some of the Rohiric cultural music seemed to have a bit too if I'm not mistaken!
(and if I am, it should be anyway!)

Shore didn't actually use Uilleann pipes in any of the scores, but they could've fit quite easily.

Stay tuned (har har)...my new set arrives in September.

I do love me some well-played Uilleann pipes!

And yes, I did notice that track! I was pleasantly surprised!
