Sounds a wonderful event Phil. On theme of smallpipes I wonder if anyone saw on Friday night a BBC4 programme called 'The Highland Sessions' - i wonder if its...
... What I like about this list, is that it is (for the most part <grin>) on topic and devoid of unpleasantness :) Le beannachdan (With blessings), Ruiseart. ...

... Nuñez is ok. He's a little too flashy and far too influenced by Highland Piping for my taste. That being said, he's a solid performer. I enjoy listening...

I know it is not a bellowspipe, but just in case, does anyone out there have any first hand knowledge of a 2 octave, (with octave key) Flemish bagpipe made by...
I tried one once, it was a bellows pipe. Unfortunately the strap was made for a more "rotund" person than myself and I struggled to get anywhere with it. The...
I've decided to let go of a set of pipes I hardly ever use. This is a Swayne G set in plum/horn, with 4 drones (G,g,d',g'), and have chanterswitch and...
I've fairly recently obtained a used set of border pipes and am having a bit of trouble with the tenor drone. After playing for a couple of minutes while the...
It sound like your reed is unsteady with pressure.. Check the bridle on the reed and make sure it is snug and tight.. If increased pressure causes your drone...

I thought I would ask Nigel Richards (Garvie Bagpipes) about this bagpipe with octave key, because he specializes in chanters with 'keys.' I've recently...

Good luck to y'all Bob - but John Anderson doesn't fit the pipes at all!! Of course I know the version you mean - apart from a vague contour it bears NO ...
Yes, I know it bears very little resemblance to the well known Burns' Song, but it's easily playable and found in the LBPS book. Where did that version come...

Does anyone know how big these reeds are? I have a set in A by Michael Dow and I was wondering if these would fit. I've read that some makers' sets don't...
... I don't know where it came from. It bears little resemblance to any of the traditional versions I've heard or seen. The version in the Scots Musical...
Well, it would be good to know the origin of the tune, to restore its rightful name. It's not a bad tune, IMHO, and shouldn't suffer under th epenalty of...

I had spoken with Ronnie McShannon about drone reeds for my border pipes. He told me the minimum measurements are 6.4mm for the reed seat and 11mm for the...
Ezeedrone reeds are great in all applications. If you let them know the size you need, they can do the rest. Unless the Dow pipes are VERY different in terms...
