I would like to humbly bring Bruce Childress's name to mention.
I am currently playing a practice set he made for me a few years ago & I went to his home(Mass at the time) to pick up the set.
Very gentlemanly fellow & though new to pipes, I was impressed byt he workmanship.
On request, he broke out his full set & showed me what these things are capable of: thereby providing motivation for a newbie.

Also, dittos for Tom Wilsbach; he gave me my first lesson, and though I have since VERY foolishly dropped lessons with Tom, he's still provided assistance from time to time via email. Warm & friendly gent there.

Cheers from lovely Maine!
