The original post in the thread stated them as 'maintenance free', and that's what I was responding to with that statement. Sorry if there was any misunderstanding. I wouldn't exactly say I was being critical of anyone here, either - I'm just offering up my opinion to the discussion based on my own ...

We use pin and post mounting for some of the keywork at the Von Huene Workshop, and I wouldn't call them maintenance free. You definitely won't suffer potential shrinkage in the long run, like you might with wood, but the axle pin and post holes should be cleaned and oiled on a semi-regular basis. O...

I like some of his stuff...it's too bad he tries to cram his playing with so much pizzaz, because he can't fit it all in...his tempo constantly shifts in some of his playing to accomodate all the stuffing.

If anyone is familiar with Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino, you might remember a reference to Vince Vega being an 'Elvis Man'. The theory is that there are two kinds of people out there...Elvis people and Beatles people. I myself am a Beatles guy, but I've also thought of the same kind of idea wit...

Haven't had time to get them, yet...I will, though, Kevin. I need all the help I can get!

The Egan set they have in the collection will be out to be viewed and talked about. It's a great oppor...

Hey all, I'm doing an informal talk on the Uilleann pipes on Nov. 3 at 11am in the Music Instrument Gallery at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The set of Michael Egan pipes they have (circa 1850) will be out of the case to be viewed and talked about. If anyone's interested, be aware that you have to...

Thanks, J, I do have a copy, I just have to dig it out, cuz the wife packed it up already!

Thanks for the info, Kevin.

Just trying to plumb every resource I can...

I'm trying to dig up as much info about Egan as possible...if anyone has any good sources on the net, please let me know...
