    of my locality long ago used never buy mouth-organs but they used to make a pipeen Ceol which gave them music the same as a mouth-organ.
    When I am making a Pipeen Ceol I first get a rib of oats or wheat. Then I cut it about an inch above the knot and I also cut it above the lower knot. Then I cut a tongue below the knot and when I blow into it it gives me music the same as a mouth-organ.
