My God man, that looks like a Williams chanter and not a clarinet. I thought you turned your hand to trying to get clarinets sounding like concert Uilleann chanters.

General consensus of Alan Ginsberg is he really knows how to make a great set of pipes. He has made some cracking sets. But a word of warning, I have come across some mighty bad sets made by this guy. He doesn’t seem to care about putting out crap. His first question is “how long have you been playi...

Sorry Fergus, I'm just messing mate. Good luck with your new chanter.

Hi there Fergus,

Are you a salesman for Rogge?

Royce still knows how to get the ratings going. As I said before, he's the JR from Dallas to this forum. But what about something fresh for a change, this is very old news.

The NPU lists maker etc, but it is also stated that this isn’t a list of recommendation. There are many pipemakers and not all of them are good and I think anyone with a bit of common sense would not send a chanter to a lad still at school to do open heart surgery on a chanter. You also claim to be ...

Royce baby you got your wee duck back. I'm so happy for you, I really could cry. Mypipes is right also, those marks could have already been on the chanter before you sent it to have the wonder reed made for what I hear is an endearing sounding chanter!!! Who really gives a damn who made a chanter, i...

Hi Antaine,

Nice stuff, did you do your apprenticeship in the H-Blocks (Long Kesh/Maze Prison) ?

Only joking now folks!!!

Someone took the bull by the horns and bought the Kennedy set.

Hi Rory and welcome to the board, I believe nickel silver and I’m sure stainless steel would look better after years of use and much easier to keep clean. I also think it’s also what you think looks better to you. I like the silver look, but I also like the brass with ebony and boxwood mounts equall...

OK, does this mean he's not playing the Spanish made Hevia, Parrado & Aragon pipes? I don’t think Paddy has been playing Hevia, Parrado & Aragon pipes. He may use their chanter, I don’t know for sure. maybe someone else out their can answer this. Hevia, Parrado & Aragon had 2 sets of dr...

I don’t think there is any difference where any musician comes from. If there is a tradition of traditional music around the family, friends or neighborhood, to where people can meet play the tunes and most of all have fun doing then that tradition is as strong there as it is in Dublin, Clare, US, C...

Sorry Alice but the Overton is already on its way to Dan McAlister in the US and the TW is on its way to me from Dan. Thanks anyway ...
