Chiff and Fipple Forums

I have a large white rubber cork that I stick in the cup allowing stock removal. Would that sort of thing work? Pretty sure I got it off eBay.

Happy to see forum up and running again. Missed it when it was down. Didn't take that long to get sorted. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I won an item of his at the auction. What a nice guy! Cut one of the pieces to fit and made an extra part. Very easy to talk to. Buy, buy, buy!

When are you planning on being in Ireland? My trip there was 52 years ago. Wish I'd stayed longer. The Puck Fair in Killorglin is a must see August 10- 12 if you're there then. It's not far from the Dingle Peninsula. Willie Week in West Clare July 1-9 is another one.

Those drawings are great Nick! I'd like to try my hand making one. Anyone got any more photos, so I won't go too far astray?

Is Kelleher still making bagpipe bags? They're site says the store is closed. Was hoping to get one. Who else is making them now?

Merry Christmas! It's a balmy 46 degrees here in Florida. Chilly but no white stuff. Only 81 days to St. Pats, when it's usually too hot but drinkable. Happy Piping to all!

One of my four chanters is a Daye penny chanter . As I look at it, the bottom hand is brass. The top hand is an "off white plastic tube assembly and decorative ring." The whole chanter is lined with a set of graduated brass tubes. Thanks for the response and great photo Mr. Gumby. I imagin...

Has anyone come up with a metal chanter? David Daye has shown that you can take a p[astic tube and make a chanter out of it. I have seen an all brass set of highland pipes. Silver, if memory serves me correctly has also been used. My brass bass drone has a rich deep sound that I love. There must be ...

That doesn't always work. Don't run off and buy a set thinking you'll get them for free. I bought a set off eBay. When I complained about the several things wrong with the set, they promised me the world! They said they'd replace them or give me a refund. They strung me along until the deadline for ...

Looks like a relatively new bag. Try filling it with water. Should be pretty simple to find that leak. Go from there.

If it's a synthetic bag, a little water poured in should find your leak without hurting the bag.

Great find Peer! I could live with it at my house.

Watched your film clip with interest. It should be a help getting my own chanters in tune. (a Howard, a Daye and a Pakistani) Many thanks!
