Eric Rigler is a very well known piper and typically plays the Uillean and Great Highland Band Bagpipes. The Braveheart is most definitely (a majority) of the Great Highland Band bagpipes. The Uillean pipes are much more mellow- they are the type of pipes heard in parts of Lord of the Dance and in the White Stripes rock song "St. Andrew". They are not played upright and it uses bellow straps rather than a blowstick.
