... djm...I'd LOVE to see you name 150 different French bagpipes!!

...I'm not sure..I believe his set was the cornemuse berrychone or bechonnet..pitched in G.

just edited to update that my buddy got his pipes back!

..oh man..I forgot I shared that story at the pub!! ugh.....No E..that can fits the profile of my right hand perfectly....what can I say? I'm loved!

Let's see....um..Boisvert wide bore D, Boisvert narrow bore D, Boisvert Cnat, Experimental Boisvert B and G....

..oh yeah, I guess I'm playing mine!

ok, lemme alone...I gotta get back to work...having a laptop in the shop is maybe NOT the best idea...let's see..reeds or websurfing...hmm...

...yep..that was a can of 4f that "failed" about 2 inches from my right hand...but to get THAT story you'll have to come out to our tionol next year and get me REALLY drunk....

This effect can be explored by anyone with a little ingenuity. The bernouli effect can and does affect a reed to a certain extent. You can experiment with this my simply making yourself a few differnt chanter tops of differing length, and thus internal volume. I'm not sure if anyone has quantified* ...

Ironically enough, it's recently been discovered that alien bones consist of cast polyester....commonly known as a great imitation ivory substitute! Here is a pic of the "duh" wall and the ball that beaned my noodle.. http://www.domainnamesanity.com/webumake/wwwsites/www.greenwoodpipes.com...

Heh!! That's cold Doc...just COLD!! Heh heh! Sure, leave it to the good old doctor to make light of a man's physical injuries...say..aren't you the man who rather shamefully blamed his wife for the damage done to his rather expensive automobile only to find that it was HIS fault??? Who deserves the ...

1. "Glasses in front of glasses" ..Time marches on and get's top all of us....I luckily still have nice brown hair, granted I have less of it...! 2. I rather like Seth's new design on his chanters..very nice touch. 3. Adding block mounts.... certainly possible, and if done right shouldn't ...

..oh really Joe, it WAS beyond funny...my poor wife and I sure looked the pair the other night... her with this huge weird frankenstein cast thingy on her ankle and me with the forehead of neanderthalensis.... I couldn't see well enough to drive and she couldn't drive well with one foot all bound up...

Mostly just to hear myself talk..er..see myself in print, I thought I'd share a good story so that all can have a good laugh at my expense...trust me..I'VE certainly been laughing! SO, to make a short story long. I had been working on a few sets of pipes using silver and mammoth ivory. So I try to k...

Which guy looks too big???



man, that chair must be huge!

...just to clarify...the chanter pictured above does not go with the engraved set. The second set was made by a fellow by the name of McPhee from Australia I believe. Here's a pic of the chanter that goes with the set...pitched in B. http://www.domainnamesanity.com/webumake/wwwsites/www.greenwoodpip...
