I think it could be a mistake to piggyback a piping event onto another big music festival, too much distraction and too much cost for participants etc. I am going to find out more about the Music Under the Mountain and what I heard about it moving from Tasmania to Victoria and report back. If what I...

Go to a car accessories shop and buy a Chamios polish cloth, a real one will be very thin Chamios Goat leather, they're very good.

I don't watch telly myself but one thing that I know a lot of people do find difficult is the distance, but Joe's right, we should try and get something going again, any ideas? Does anyone have any details for the mob running things in Koroit? Koroit and Port Fairy (they're about 25 miles apart if I...

I have had experience with UPS and fedex. UPS will destroy and loose things but I haven't had the same experience with fedex (and they have a better tracking system). Also fedex will give you a type of insurance to the value of the shipped item if it is lost or dammaged which, if it is pipes and pac...

Aparently the Music Under thr Mountain thingy that has been held in Tasmainia the last few years is moving to somewhere in Victoria. I don't know this for sure but I heard that the site where it was being held changed hands and they can no longer afford to have it there. I think it would be great to...

Unfortunately these pipes are leaving Australia but I am using some of the proceeds of the sale to restore another set of pipes that will ultimately stay in Australia. I am aware of quite a number of old sets that have left Australia in the past. I also think that it is important to make sure that t...

Pipes sold.

For more Vallely brilliance you should check out Niall Vallely's cd. You will hear some wild concertina and some great arrangements of his own tunes with his brother Caoimhin on piano and Paul Meehan on strings.

Check It Out!!!

Congratulations!!! You made the big time now!!! right up there with the cat food and frozen goods. You'll be getting asked for autographs whenever you hit the big smoke now. I was going to buy your cd from your website but now I think I might just wait and buy it from the woolworths down the road ne...

I was just looking through an old stack of An Piobaire from NPU. I saw on the cover of the issue from May 2000 vol. 4 no. 5 that there is a picture of Leo Kelly playing a Geoff Wooff Bflat 3/4 set made in 1982 and numbered 31. The set I am selling are a full set and dated 1982 and numbered 37. That ...

The reed in my Fischer narrow bore concert pitch came with the chanter in 1995 and is still going great, as are all other reeds in the set though I have made replacements for all except chanter. Have not been able to make as good a reed as the original. The reed in the Woof B chanter from 2001 is st...

Hey Pat

Thanks loads for putting the pictures on for me.

Cheers,

Thanks for the solutions Joseph and Pat.

With help there will be pictures of these pipes any day now.

Cheers

I own a set from Geoff Wooff that was completed in 2001 and is in the pictures on Pat's up obsession page as listed earlier. These are NOT the pipes that are for sale. I am certainly not stopping piping, think i'm crazy or something? (don't answer that) The set for sale is from 1982 and is pretty we...

I'll try to get a picture on here for you all to see. I am pretty inept at computers and the like. Perhaps I could email it to someone who could post it to this thread for me.

Cheers,
