Tell us something.: a sentence or 2. Having a field that requires 100 characters get displayed next to each and every post I make sure is annoying.

Sorry, I'm having a time getting the bubble wrap off these pipes! Finally got some of the wood exposed. I think it's going to be beautiful! Key of C.

There, finally got the bellows free. Finally, it can breath. Nice match, although different maker.

You are not wrong Lorenzo, you will be hard pushed to find a nicer sounding set.

Here's set put together. Box, horn, and brass--not a bad combination. Never thought I'd like horn, but it's nicely contrasted with the boxwood.

I got this Rogge 3/4 set going last night. I'm liking the key of C, I think it's just right. The box chanter sounds sweet, mellow, yet having that solid quality sound. The whole set feels about as light as my old Gallagher B 1/2 set. Amazing, really. The sticks all seem tightly arranged together. I'd like to compare the diameter of the main stock with other sets sometime. This one looks narrower than others I remember (which is a good thing, IMO). This one measures 2 and 3/8 inches across.

You know, I don't ordinarily get excited about strip teases, but this ... :lol: You had me going, there! Lovely, lovely.
