Boschma Trunk - Flightcase Warehouse

Hi!
Just wondered if anyone tried this case?
http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/ty ... -4855-6555

I like the size and the back wheel option, it also seems very sturdy. A bit to big for in cabin flights but thats not my intended purpose.

Re: digital Piper - happy with the vPipes

Tried to buy that one,beware!wants more than what a new Vpipe would cost. ??? The seller wants 1,800.00 USD = 1,357.06 EUR The retail price of the vPipes-Uilleann according to their web site is 1,490 Euros (not including VAT and delivery costs). Did you miss the "$" sign Dan? :poke: /M

Re: digital Piper - happy with the vPipes

Have anyone tested the Vpipes as a midi controller with the "Studio piper" software?

Re: Slow airs and other drawling tunes - MUSIC SHEETS

Hi Newcomen! There is a nice little online collection of airs from the Chris Langan’s book “Move Your Fingers” that sits just fine on the pipes. However, don’t fool yourself when it comes to speed and an easy looking score. Even though airs are slow, I still think they are the hardest tunes to do ju...

Re: question about cheap pakistani pipes sellers on ebay

On the contrary I believe that their business plan is just brilliant. If you want to sell a useless instrument of poor quality what could be better than picking: 1) An expensive instrument that very few people even heard or seen IRL. 2) An instrument that is known to be unplayable out of the box wit...

Re: Jackie Boyce bag styles

Hi and thanks for the input! Good to hear that everyone seems to be very satisfied with Mr. Boyce’s work. :thumbsup: I was wondering about the different styles as I got the impression from the short descriptions and the references to the different makers, that the Ginsberg and Wooff styles were suit...

Jackie Boyce bag styles

Hi!
I have a spare chanter and bellows that I would like to turn into a practice set and I'm just about to order a bag from Jackie.
Would appreciate any input on the different models.

Cheers!

Re: pipers pastimes

Road cycling, which have ended up to become more of an obsession than a hobby (cyclosportives and amateur racing). I also try to participate and support my three daughters hobbies, Horse riding (Eventing), handball and gymnastics. If there are any hours left at the end of the week I will spend them ...

Thanks for the youtube uploads Blackwood. It was nice to see the wonderful piping of Jörgen Fisher again :thumbsup: Michaels flute playing is also worth a listen.
