I contacted the seller and let you know if I get any information.

Very sad news; He was very helpful and patient when I called him from France, trying to buy an antique flute, and always with an exquisite courtesy.

Great man indeed.

By the way, Froment's sets are not that affordable. (and you'll have to pay in euros)

NPU doesn't say what they attend to do with such information. I can't give any name without the piper's agreement, and won't ask him for agreement before I know exactly what kind of help NPU will provide.

Best regards.

More, I think Alan Kloatr was first or second to take the pipes in Britanny. By the way, Stivell is based on the name Cochevelou. In fact, Cochevelou comes from "Coz Stivellou" ("Old Fountains" in Breton). Going back to Coz Stivellou, Alan made a reduction and took the name "...

Just to complete:

Patrick Molard plays a Williams D set with AF chanter, right. He also plays a C# set, entirely made by AF.

I bought mine second hand (Trios CD).

Patrick Molard usually uses a Williams set with a Froment chanter.

Is there an abc or pdf version now?

Best regards

What about the CD called "Trios"? (printed by Pixie)

Of course Joe, you're right; but where does it come from? French roots? etc.

That's what I wanted to know!


Best regards (I'like to see pix of your set, but I don't have $, just €)

when your drones are in tune, you are at the end of bellows' stroke, and air pressure is decreasing, so the drone left is able to start again.

Dear David

Could you tell us more about your name "Boisvert"? Just French curiosity...

Best regards

Please check your pm.

Some points are to be explained; for instance: why is it impossible to get both E in tune? (I suppose some physical explanation is required...) and if both E can't be played properly in tune, why not get low E in tune, and adapt only high E? Why do both octave significantly differ? Is it impossible ...
