Re: T.Aebi chanters
ps. I feel he's one the most gifted instrument makers (both flute and pipe) alive today.

Re: T.Aebi chanters
Does he have web site or any kind of presence on the web, to take a look at his work?
Thanks God for the opposite thumb.

Re: T.Aebi chanters
I visited him in his workshops few months ago and the chanter he played looked and sounded awesome.
He told me that he will bring up a new website and some surprises concerning uilleann chanters soon.

Thomas is a great player, w/ superb ears, and again...sorry to beat this one again, ....he's a genius craftsman.

There are (at least) three "pipe makers" on this video

Re: T.Aebi chanters
When Tom was Andreas Rogge´s apprentice and a short time later he made a few chanters but not now any more. Flutes only.

Wise man? Discuss.he made a few chanters but not now any more. Flutes only.
" . . . when it's finished you look at it and you think that perhaps it will live longer than you, and perhaps it will be of use to someone you don't know, who doesn't know you. Maybe as an old man you'll be able to . . look at it, and it will seem beautiful . . "

Re: T.Aebi chanters
I play a chanter from Tom, wich he lent me. I am very pleased with it although I can't compare it to chanters from other makers because I have never played anything else. I like the rich, full tone I can get from it... and it looks just

Re: T.Aebi chanters
I never played a chanter made by Tom, but I heard him playing his own set of pipes a few times now and they sound and he plays them lovely. There are not many chanter made by him around, but every single owner loves them. My main instrument is one of his flutes and I still have to find a better Pratten. I even prefer it over an Olwell.
