Gaelic or Celtic music refers to music from Ireland or Scotland because both places have produced well-known distinctive styles which actually have genuine commonality and clear mutual influences. Bagpipes are the primary national instrument of Scotland and Irish bagpipes are called Uilleann pipes and are smaller and quieter than their Scottish counterparts. Other Irish instruments include the bodhran which is a frame drum held by a cross bar and played with a tipper, which is a small double ended stick and the harp and tin whistle which are also very prevalent in Scottish music.
