Hi Rob

Ohhhh how I envy you...

Danish box player Anders Trabjerg and banjo player Jonas Fromseier are both based in Galway - I'll get contact details for you. Anders usually performs with piper Lorenzo Morales. I'm sure they can help you.

Human skin works fine - and if you don't like the idea of carrying a piece of your loved one in your pipes case, just cut a hole in your pants. Makes a fine conversation piece too......

Woo - my first post in the whistle department! (I'm one of those surly pipers )

I bought a Hohner at a local flea market for about 1$ - it's in C, and sounds a bit like a Clarke. Very easy to blow.

Easy:

Joseph, If I bring the Firefly series, can I borrow the Lord of the Rings?

My solution to all this is simpler: I leave the pipes in their case if the humidity is lower than about 45 percent ;-) If I did that they would only come out in the summer...... :sniffle: Winter in Copenhagen: 10 - 30% Summer: 60 - 80% - Not really pipe-friendly country here, adjust adjust adjust.....

Aaaaarrgghhh - If only I had the money...... I have the perfect chanter to go with that set....

Anyone wants to buy an Angus Bb set and a set of Roberts drones and an ibook computer and a hardly used mother-in-law and a kidney and... and.... and.....

Oooohhh - and they sound even better. And so easy to blow....

Great set!

I used to drive wild Cannondale mountainbikes, now it looks like this....



Times change.......

Looks like his Williams D with the boxwood Quinn chanter?

Hi Bo

Nice looking reg there. There is a few pics on my website of Chris Bayley milling a chanter for a key:

Look under "archive"

- He used a milling attachment for the lathe, and a homemade bit i think.

Good choice Gabriel. Chris makes fine pipes (I just ordered a full set in D from him), has a lot of experience and a waiting list that is not as ridiculous as some other pipemakers. It is a good idea to find a maker not too far away. I will never again buy a set from someone more than a couple of ho...

I just enjoy making music with them. And let others worry about what to call me.....

It works well that way.

I've already decided to whom the Beehive set will go in the event of my death provided that my immediate survivors will not want it to play . He's a red-headed fella residing in Dublin and his Da is a good friend of mine. Isn't there allready a Mulcrone set waiting sometime along the road for this ...

And there is Chris Bayley in Redhill, maker of very fine pipes indeed. I had a go at his own (at the time) D-set not too long ago. Chanter was easier to manage than my own Williams stick - sweet and very easy to play.
