Besides your pipes of course, what sort of goodies are rolling around in there? I have more Aveeno hand lotion than anything else it seems....hemp, sand paper, crucifix (can't hurt!).......

Tin whistle, hand lotion, hemp (dental floss, actually), small needle-nose pliers, spare reeds, minidisk recorder.

I never thought of a crucifix. Is this for excorsizing the damned things?

This has been done on the uilleann list some time back too but...

A pair of small pliers, waxed hemp, tape..,that's it
Sometimes a/some whistle(s), but i suck on those. (no, not litterally

)

Now that i have a new tube for my bellows to bag i might as well toss the tape out.

I removed the original tube for some bendable kind.
Now i'm back to the original

Dental floss, teflon tape, hand creme, an extra chanter reed, cotton thread and beeswax, small rubberbands for the drones, a Sony ST10 digital recorder, a golf tee (to quiet the baritone drone if I don't want to use it, a Seiko digital tuner, and usually a Copeland brass D whistle.

This may be an ignorant question from a relative beginner, but why the hand cream?

Also, in my case can usually be found small pliars, tape, waxed hemp, whistles galore, a flute, emergency beer money, and a notebook with many scraps of paper jammed inside.

Dry hands don't seal holes very well...

Sorry about the double post.

I tend to have sweaty hands so dryness has never been a problem. The weather here in Spain is also notoriously humid. Good for the reeds though.

Thanks for the tip for the next time I´m suffering through a dry New England winter!

Was that for tuning?

Nivea cream, tuner, various whistles, zip lock bag with damp Scott towels in it, spare reeds, hemp, teflon tape, superglue, pliers...

Anyone reading these lists would probably come to the conclusion that pipers are pervs.

All we would need is a blow torch and we could get 'medieval on your ass!'.
