Thanks, this is good to know. However, I've tried searching the NPU website for information on how to obtain the CD ROMs and got nowhere. Anyone out there have some more data on how to order these Journals?

thanks again,

Can anyone tell me the current availability status of the Sean Reid Society Journal? My searches on the web including the NPU website and an archive search of this forum have not turned up anything definitive. Are print/web versions of the entire two volumes available? If not, what is the procedure ...

I have made a stab at compiling a complete (I hope!) list of tutors and tunebooks for uilleann pipes. You can view my list at: http://cberdoll.home.texas.net/tutors.htm I welcome any additions or corrections, for instance, is The Golden Eagle a uilleann pipes tunebook or just a general tunebook? I d...

I don't think I'm the only one who thinks Paddy Moloney should record a solo piping album. Obviously, he's very busy, but this is getting critical: we don't live forever, after all, and it would be a great loss to the piping world if he never did record a sampling of his repetroire, skills and style...

Dear Group: Following plans on David Daye's web site, a friend and I have coordinated on a narrow bore style D pitch chanter which was based on measurements made on a low pitch, narrow bore chanter by Harrington. The plans were rescaled to produce a narrow bore chanter pitched in D. The resulting in...

It sounds really fascinating... Have you an idea for a main stock? I have been thinking about augmenting my penny chanter practice set with drones based on the brass tubing plans from David Daye's website which he assures me will work. Have you checked these out yet? Any opinions of these as opposed...

I far as I am able to determine, the following is a complete list of all published uilleann pipes tutors and tunebooks: Leo Rowsome’s Tutor for the Uileann Pipes Leo Rowsome The Leo Rowsome Collection of Irish Music (includes above tutor) Leo Rowsome How to Play the Irish Uillean Pipes Tadhg Crowley...

I want to construct a set of drones for my Penny Chanter practice set along the lines of the plans on David Daye's UP home building webpage. Has anyone out there followed these plans? I'm interested in tips and warnings from your experience as well as the results you got. Also, some guidance on meas...
