Andy Irvine (planxty et al) occasionally plays one, mainly to accompany songs, dont think he has a trompette though, i have never heard it buzz. If you are using the broad definition of celtic music ( ie acoustic pan-european folk music) then several spanish groups use it. If you are using celtic music to mean traditional irish music, then no, it isnt used much, I am sure Gilles and Patrick could do a great job on reels, but they are damn hard to play on the gurdie for us normal humans.

Have I just been looking (or listening) in all the wrong places? Or, is it a tuning issue?
