Hi there. This is Nick Whitmer. I've been making uilleann pipes for about 15 years. I also sell reedmaking supplies. My wife & I recently relocated from near Charlottesville, Virginia to Ithaca, New York. After a period of relative inactivity I am back to making pipes to sell. I have no waiting list at this time. I have a practice set and a half set for sale & ready to go. Both are in D and made principally of African Blackwood. Please contact me for further info.
I'll be lurking at the UP forum and perhaps ocassionally moved to contribute.
Regards,
Nick Whitmer

Hi Nick,
I nipped the end off the reed you played in my Whitmer chanter and the back D is good and solid now. It had changed some (not neatsfoot oil treated as it is my first try) going down to the tionól, I guess.
I didn't get to play any with you (too many sessions, I wanted to be 4 people to enjoy it all), maybe the next time.
Why in the world did you move up to yankee land?
Since down here a yankee is someone from that area "up north" and a damn yankee is one that moves down here to live, so, I guess you are a "damn rebel", now, huh?
BTW, I have had good success with Nick's cane in both concert and C chanter reeds, even though most of it is 7/8" diameter.

Hey ya Nickster. Still going to sell us our cane, gouges, string, etc.? Still putting the hand grenade soundbox on the bass drones, too?
So that's what that means...here in Oregon we need a term like that for the dreaded Californians!fancypiper wrote: a damn yankee is one that moves down here to live
here's my email address & thanks for the welcome
Thanks for the welcoming messages...
Yes I have reedmaking stuff to sell. I still make the bass drone regulator in a shape which was inspired by a poppy seed pod. I can mail paper copies of price lists, or maybe send them as email attachments. No web site as yet. Someday probably.
I had a fine time at the East Coast Tionol. Northern, southern, no problem as long as I can find a ready supply of chocolate.
My email, FYI, is nwhitmer@lightlink.com
Regards,
Nick
