Hornpipes

Hi Everybody!

I can't find the meaning of HORNPIPES. I'll show you the context:

....when instruments like the fiddle and the uillean pipes were pulled out for Irish dancing - reels, HORNPIPES and jigs - at weddings and saint's day.

I wrote the hole paragraph because I think it might help.

Thanks!

Thanks Lady Stardust!

Do you think that there is a specific spanish word for that?

Warla, creo que no tiene traducción, es un baile típico Irlandes y se le conoce así: Hornpipe. Mira este video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMqkba0Hi9I&feature=related, esto es un hornpipe.

Ahora si que me queda claro: una imagen vale más que mil palabras.
