Got a nice honest note from Andreas. My order was misplaced. Reeds are on the way. Someone on the Forum may have moved it along. Many thanks, Jim

Thanks folks. Sounds like a phone call might do it. Best, Jim

Any suggestions on getting through to Mr. Rogge. I have sent seven e-mails over the past four and a half months trying to confirm he received a bank transfer of funds for new reeds back in April.

Ironically, many Irish bands in the US, e.g. Ancient Order of Hibernia Societies, Police and Fire Department Emerald Society bands wear Scottish military pipe band uniforms, including a variety of tartans, feather bonnets and most of them play both traditional Irish and Scottish tunes.

I'm ready to part with my very nice Rogge C# 3/4 set based on the Coyne Model (photo on Rogge's web site.) Ebony, brass and imitation ivory. The chanter has four keys and the regs have the optional tuning slides on both. Bellows included. Original regulator cane reeds, composite drone reeds and Koeh...

Looking for information about Dave Williams (RIP) flat sets, particularly pitched in C. I know the larger body of his work was Concert pitch. Any information appreciated. Best to all.
