Sure...why not?

I'm not 100% on the history of the set Rory Paddy is sending them to me from the States he said they are in a bad way and he wants them fixed up as he is giving them to a young fella as a gift (good friend to have eh?). Should be interesting to see them I was playing a Rowsome set during the week that my friend Finbar Mc Laughlin has and they are class

Sean,
I dont want to off topic here so I'll try to revive the original post.
But, in 2010 I switched from my Burke chanter to a Jim Wenham chanter but I rushed the staple and the hi(gh)b(ernians) were fine! Well I had 3 or 4 octave drops through the year but will all the reverb and keyboards racket it wasn't fatal.

I'll continue on the other side!

Tommy
