I sometimes use copper tube with a perfect 4mm bore, makes great staples,,

Yes! The lady is playing them,, If the set is going to be auctioned? Just open the bidding at €10,000 and see what happens, if theirs still bids after this then just rise it by €100 each time till the highest bidders wins,, easy,,

Hi Liam, no problem, I know the YouTube video is of the Blair chanter is for the Highland fingering, it is the sensors fitted I'm on about, it enables the piper to play at much fast speed compared to older touch sensor, once these new sensors are fitted to a Uilleann Digital Chanter with the full tu...

I wouldn't rush in and buy a set yet, they have designed a new finger sensor that works by the voltage in your fingers instead of the older Chanters that worked with press sensors, this new Chanter have holes with these new sensors fitted, if you look up the new 'Blair Digital chanter' on YouTube yo...

Cheers guys, managed to contact Joseph at Samsoncane and my reed order is ready to ship to me, usually get Medir Spanish cane, but I'm going to give the Californian cane a go this time heard some good things about it..

Yeh! but no flights so need a more closer supplier, someone must have some tucked away somewhere Contacted both suppliers from above, cheers all,,

Hi, anyone know where I can pick up some Californian Cane? Time to make some new reeds and brush up on my skills, got some old Spanish Medir Cane still looks okay, but I need some new cane, who's the new kid on the block now a days for Cane? Any help most appreciated, got a couple of D Chanters and ...

Are you requiring a manual on learning how to play or to maintain the pipes? as there are a couple of other tutor manuals on playing the Uilleann pipes you can purchase, also finger charts of the chanter, maybe look out for a local pipers club or piper that might can help you out?

Tommy Keane - the Dusty Miller, The Moving Hearts - Lake of Shadows, Port na bPucai - Ronan Browne, Paddy Keenan - The Black Bird?, Davy Spillane - Caoineadh Cu Chulainn, might change yet?

If it had' a na been for Davy I wouldn't have ever taken the pipes up, best River Dance piper ever! Love his style of playing with a little reverb on the chanter and whistle to smooth it out, mind you he must be a terrific reed maker the way his reeds stand up to his fast playing, but there are a co...

Pleased for you, they are a nice set pipes,,

Didn't Becky Taylor have an Crawley set as well as a Harrington or Coyne set that Peter Hunter worked on? Thought I remember hearing something like that a few year back, but I could be wrong,,

Yes, that's the one, cheers, I've also been listening to Gerry Rafferty's brilliant Album 'North and South' Davy plays some nice bits on Pipes and Low Whistle and penny on a few of Gerry's tracks, Winter Comes, Tired of Talking, love to listen to this album Volume well up!

Dosen't Becky Taylor have a Coyne or Harrington Set? They'll be a lot more than you think, if you average 2 full sets a year, then practice and half sets over their Pipemaking Careers, some would have had an apprentice or family member helping in their work shop I would of thought?,,
