Ronan Browne: (from his website) 1. James Kenna set of union pipes circa 1780 2. Denis Harrington set of grand union pipes circa 1845 3. Ronan Browne concert pitch set of uilleann pipes from 1995 "The Ronan Browne set was made in the mid 1990s with great help from the wonderful flute maker Mart...

@ mukade -- Good idea. Maybe once there's more to add?

@ boyd -- Thanks! Had no idea so many were playing Koehler chanters.

Hi all, There are a bunch of posts asking "what does X play?" or "who made X's set?" scattered throughout the forum, but I'm wondering whether it might be worthwhile starting a more comprehensive listing here. So, with that in mind, could we put together a list of recorded pipers...

Hey all, I'm tossing up between having regulators made for my half set of uilleann pipes, or spending the cash on trying my hand at the rest of the bellows-blown family, starting with the Scots smallpipes or border pipes. Does anyone have any sets (pref. in A) they're looking to sell? Otherwise, any...

I've only had occasion to use 'em when OzWhistles hasn't carried what I was after. Service was good, delivery was prompt and safely packed.

Heh.

I'd love to be able to half-hole Bb at speed, but for now I awkwardly rely on X0XXXX

Or there's always the option of a Hackie Pack. I recently reviewed mine as a separate post here.

Introduction Mid-year, after my trip to New Zealand, I decided it was no longer feasible for me to lug my whistles around in an aluminum case. I still use the metal case when I go traveling, since I figure as a bearded man I'm bound to be 'randomly checked' at the airport anyway! So I started surfi...

- John McSherry
- Cillian Vallely
- Tiarnán ó Duinnchinn
- Michael O'Connell
- Brendan Ring (time for a second album Brendan!)

Also a definite a vote for Seán McKeon and Louise Mulcahy. I'd also love to see Greg Waite (NZ) put out an album -- he'll kill me when he reads this!

Agreed with Mitch's assessment of them. I'm reluctantly selling my Reviol C/D set to raise funds for my pipes. There are some sound clips.
