Re: Ebay Items
For what it's worth I've never seen a Pakistani half set with bass drone bends made from one continuous piece of tubing. Usually have a, not particularly to scale, wooden section in the middle.

Re: Unfinished Howard chanters in b off Ebay UK
Drilling your holes undersized does make sense in this case but just be aware that there are times when note hole size can have the opposite effect to what you may expect. As explained by Bill Haneman over on the other forum: http://uilleannforum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1695&p=11200&a...

Re: Are DRONES essential in learning process?
Whatever form the initial spark of interest may be is largely irrelevant. Whether it's Spillane or Ennis, it's where you go from there that is important.. therapy in quite a few cases

Re: Are DRONES essential in learning process?
I wonder how many people took up the pipes as a direct result of watching Davey Spillane playing on the Point Theatre recording? 22 years ago now.. Interesting the visual impact the full set makes even though it's just the chanter being played, admittedly with effects and synths.

It's the type of thing I did along side college work when I wa...
