ya know, I'm thinking maybe I'll revert to a wooden cap rather than fiddle with soldering..

Do makers do anything other than hemp to keep it tight?
Are epoxies or other glues used?

Thank you Nate.
Lovely pipes yer making there..

In this photo, I'm curious to know how the maker "caps" off the top?
Is a round disc soldered onto the top?

I'll pay shipping...

I honestly don;t know, and would have to ask the prior owner if he has a clue.
I can tell you though, that the makers stamp is pretty well worn away, so that itself
might give us a clue that it's been around..
Wish I had something more solid to tell ya..

Model P3 would be great...

I personally really enjoy an accomplished piper hitting a squeak here,
