Here's a video that gives a good view of Padraig McGovern's right thumb when he's playing. The real action is when he finishes the air (anyone know the name of it?) and goes on to the march (The Fairy Troupe).

I'm no expert at identification but they look like Ginsberg's work to me.

Re: Preston Howard - The Primrose Glen
Lovely CD. It certainly sounds like Preston's Boxwood Angus concert set.
That's it in the video.

Re: A good word for Richard Patkos.
It's nice that you didn't stop with complaining about him, but went on to talk with him about his business practices. Sounds like he's turned around for you at least. Hopefully other customers will profit from your efforts. I hope so, because it seems like a lot of people are happy with his chanters.

Re: Sightreading and piping
Great suggestion, Murk. Learning by ear is easier when you are listening someone who is playing with the intention of teaching the tune. You might also want to check out youtube, there's several tunes played for learners up there. Look particularly for Patrick D'Arcy.

Re: NPU rubber bellows connector
The connector is 6" long. One of my sets has a fairly long blowpipe, and the 6 inch connector is the perfect length. The other set has a short blowpipe so I have part of a second connector fastened to it and I use a piece of 1/2" ID vinyl tubing to connect the two. The tubing is a bit slic...

The set is distinctive, having four drones and a double drone switch. I've asked Leonard to supply the other informat...

Re: How important are keys, really?
The c and f natural keys come in very handy. If I were ordering a new chanter I would be sure that it had these two. The other keys are nice when you need them, but I at least rarely need them.
