lol Now if I could just get a new set of fingers.

I always wanted to put a tune up on the internet so people could hear the
drones. I don't have a clue on how to do that. I have a web site, maybe I
could add music to it. Don't know. The web site has nothing to do with
bagpipes. It is about a car I own. That would be funny to open up the site
and see an old car and pipes are playing. What do you think?

As a matter of fact, I have to store them in separate cases. If you think
that's bad, you should hear the squeeling I get when I shove that chanter
into the Gibson chater stock. Reminds me of the movie "Deliverance".

Not much of a piper quite yet, but here's what I'm using to forge ahead...

Drones: MacLellan -- 2001 Celtic Cross (real vintage stand <G>..)
Drone reeds: Wygent Synthe Drone (just getting the knack of tweaking these
birds)
Chanter: MacLellan polypenco -- Works for me. I may try something else too--
Kron or Soutar I think.
Chanter reed: So far, I've fiddled with Soutar, Apps and Shepherd. Coming
round to prefer the Soutar.
Bag: MacHarg Elkhide (medium). Heavy duty and comfortable-- with big bright

This thread started with a really good question. I'd like to change it a
bit to see how many pipers have how many sets of pipes. Dealers do *not*
include the inventory. Personal sets only.

We are too, wonderful tone and yet reasonably easy too. Just a great reed.

>This thread started with a really good question. I'd like to change it a

We have 2.5 sets, because one is a half set.

[Chris Thomas]

I think it depends on the type of car. If it's a voltswagen Beetle, you might
get some nice harmonics between the drones and the exhaust pipes. Not sure how
they'd blend with a Volvo though. :)

What's your website?

lol You are killing me over here. My web site is

Maybe I could make another page from that one to hear sound clips or have
pipes in the background. I am not too good with all the computer stuff.
Maybe someone can give me a pointer or two. I was wondering, does it take a
long time for the site to come up? I have a high speed connection and can't
tell. If I have sound on the page should I make the pictures smaller?

I really prefer cane, but haven't had the time to practice frequently
enough to keep them going. If I had my druthers, I'd be a cane and
sheepskin man, but Eezedrones are a very good second choice in my pipes.

Chanter....................Dunbar Poly
Chanter Reed..........Clanrye synthetic, Dunbar supplied Cane
Bag...........................L&M hide bag
Practice Chanter......Gibson poly long. Very Nice!

As I'm a beginner I wanted a chanter reed that wasn't too hard. the clanrye
works really well and doesn't sound bad at all, to me anyway.
I'm trying to break in the reed that dunbar supplied but its a tough go.

Dan,
Trust me on this, get a Soutar reed or two, they are just as easy to blow but
sound like a reed is supposed to, thats testimonial from at least two people
who formerly used crapryes. I think ESPECIALLY in the beginning its important
you hear the right sound.
Chris at Toneczar has them and can pick ones to match your blowing and make of
chanter too!

No bother in my Gibson or Sinclair chanter! :-)

I think for the most part Jim, the reed making business took a bit of a dive
after
MacAllister packed it in, but the new reeds coming out in just the past
couple
of years are pretty impressive.

Souter
The older Shepherds (new ones are ok, but not as good)
Meg/Ross
Caldwell (New and Old)
Gilmour(really nice)

One maker that is really impressive is J. Higgins
I've never seen a really well made reed like the one's
John is producing. This reed produces a nice solid top hand,
but they are not as free as the Shepherds.

If you want a nice instant sounding reed, try John Elliot's reeds.
Just started working these into our GR4 bands setup
and I really like them.

About having a piper for a wife... try telling her her timing is off in

But, on the other hand, I dont mind being behind her in a parade, that

Somebody to iron my band shirt when she irons hers, and yes we do know
what we wear under our kilts.
Its nice not having to explain why I need that new gadget for my pipes,

Hi Jim, just curious....I've heard several contest with many open pipers and
I've always been impressed with MacDougals. Just out of curiosity, as I know
that "tone" preference is like religious differences...but, do you prefer the
new Krondersons over your MacDougals?

I would assume you do since you're spending who knows what on a set of full
silver! :) I hope to hear you play those some time once you've got them all set
up. I hope to attend the School maybe next year.

Are you doing any competitions ever or do you ever have recitals? If so please
let me know.

Thanks,

Shawn

The Gannaway's a great bag with good feel, especially the medium. BUT, if
you're a wet blower as I am, you will not get the moisture control you do
from a Sheep. So find out if you're a wet blower or not. I'm so wet I
finally had to give in can the sheep and get a Ross system. And to be
totally honest with the chanter compartment set with about 80 % of it
filled with kitty litter I still get my chanter reed damp after an hour or
so of playing....... That's with fresh litter. So I'm gonna move the thing
over to the last slot and play with the barest minimum of open space
available. It's crazy.....

The MacDougalls are a shade quieter, but equally rich and steady. I haven't really
played them seriously for years. (They're actually my wife's pipes). The tuning
slides are a bit uneven -- unusual for drones with brass inserts -- which is why I
hadn't played them a lot, and I hope to have them touched up a bit shortly. I
haven't really tried them with synthetic reeds, but back when I played cane I
always found the bass hard to reed -- an infamous MacDougall trait. When you got
one to go it was outstanding. I think that's always been another reason for the
popularity of Hendersons over the decades; they were very easy to reed. Of course,
with virtually maintenance-free synthetics now, that playing field has been
levelled.

All this work and talk about pipes in the past few months has me hankering to get
those MacDougalls out again and get them ship-shape. They have the most incredible
silver engraving I have ever seen on any set of pipes anywhere. Absolutely
miraculous in its fine detail. I'll probably have the Kron folk do the work on
them, so when I do that I'll take a shot of the silver. You'll be amazed.

I haven't competed since the Glenfiddich in 1991, and I have no hankering
whatsoever to go back. I never liked competing much. You can hear the Hendersons
on my 1992 Lismor WGP recording, and on my first video, "Pipes Ready." You'll hear
the same drones and the new Kron chanter on "Pipes Up", my tuning video, which
we're finishing up this week. I'm planning on a new album near the end of the year,
so you should hear the new pipes then, as well as various smallpipes. When I have
some time in a month or so I'll get some sound clips up on my website. Recitals are
hit-and-miss -- 8 or 10 a year, usually private affairs or a summer school. I'll be
at Loon Mtn again this year in September, and at the Invermark piping school at
Casteton. My own school starts in two weeks and we'll have two recitals with
myself, Alasdair Gillies, Willie McCallum, Angus MacColl, Bruce Gandy and Rob
Crabtree -- several of whom have been involved in testing the new chanter. These
recitals are being recorded (and were last year) with a hoped-for release this
winter. Geeze, life is busy....

First of all, I think that this is the greatest thread of all time. From
far and wide and not one nasty comment. Remarkable! Better be careful or
we'll put that "other" music board out of business!

NRP set:

Drones - MacLellan full silver Millennium (African Blackwood)

Reeds - Have played both E-Z-Drone and Wygent DuaTone tenors - Watson
inverted cane bass - tenor reed situation is undecided for this season.

Chanter - agressively carved mid 1970's vintage Sinclair

Chanter reed - Soutar

Bag - Ross Canister

Braemar set

Drones - MacLellan silver & ivory Millennium (Coco bolo)

Reeds - Wygent DuaTone across entire set

Chanter - Dunbar

Bag - Ross Canister

Other sets have been too many to name, from time to time. Some have been
really outstanding. I've found good homes for them all.
