Re: Registration for the SoCal Tionól--Oct. 15 Deadline!

Money doesn't change hands at a tionól unless it's for a t-shirt, concert tickets or used gear. That list seems kind of short to me. You forgot the CDs, raffle tickets, beer by the glass, or anything else that Larry can think of! Oh, and by the way, I found out last night that yesterday was a US ho...

Re: Stumbled upon some more Ronan Browne music online

Maybe one of you single pipers in California could arrange to get married so you could hire Ronan to come out and play at the wedding -- and invite me, please!

I find it very cool that someone of his abilities says "I love playing at wedding ceremonies".

Re: Pictures of Your Pipes

Looks like it was a successful internship! Those pipes look as nice as anything else coming out of the Hubbert workshop. Maybe you'll return to pipemaking after grad school? (We can hope.)

Re: Making&Playing pipes/which tuner to choose

If you have an iPhone, I recommend the "Cleartune - Chromatic Tuner" app. It feels much more responsive than my CA30, and it has a lot of configuration options (e.g., more than a dozen different temperaments, callibrating to arbitrary frequencies, transposition, needle damping, etc.). All ...

Re: Amazing Slower Downer now on iPhone/iPod Touch

I don't really know anything about it, but as I suggested, it seems likely to me that this limitation of ASD will go away with iPhoneOS 3.0. Hopefully they'll give free upgrades to a new version of the app and your $15 will not be wasted. You just have to wait a few months....which should be nothing...

Re: Amazing Slower Downer now on iPhone/iPod Touch

I haven't tried it yet either but my impression was that you need to download the music from your computer once, separate from your iTunes files. After that, you should be able to use it without a computer. There is hope for the situation improving in the future, too. The next version of the iPhone ...

Re: San Francisco Tionol

OK, last reminder about the early registration discount: send it in this week!

And, even if you prefer to pay when you get here, please send a note to tionol@sfpipersclub.org to let us know that you're planning to come. It helps a lot to know how many people to expect. Thanks.

Re: San Francisco Tionol

Hi John, That would be great if you can come out for the tionol. The good news is that the two homes where we will hold the tionol (one for the Friday night party and the other for everything else) are not far apart. The bad news is that I'm not aware of any cheap accomodations nearby. You could pro...

Re: San Francisco Tionol

I had forgotten to set up the "tionol@sfpipersclub.org" email. It is fixed now. Sorry for any troubles that caused.
