The Bright Lady

Does anyone know the meaning/history behind the name of this beautiful Air? I’m intrigued to know who the “Bright Lady” is supposed to be, perhaps a metaphor maybe?
Any information greatly appreciated.

Regs and drones humming away and Chanter playing very nicely. 10 years of playing and handling left some grubby marks which Gordon expertly removed . I’m the 3rd owner of this wonderful set. I was wonde...

Wanted Concert pitch D drones

Hi folks. I’m currently waiting on a new set but in the meantime I’m after a set of drones. I’m not bothered about makers so much. Price is the main factor as I will be selling them on when my set is ready. If you have a set of drones for sale ( or even for long term loan/hire ) I would be very inte...

Re: Similiar flute

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Grenaditte head joints by Guo... I have a Buffett flute but a Guo Grenaditte headjoint... it makes a whole world of difference for the better. I did have a Guo Grenaditte flute but I found I preferred the silver flute with Guo headjoint. For me that’s the way to go .

Allan Mollers Ashley Isles Gouges

Hello folks,
In Allans reed making video he mentions the 2 gouges he uses for reed making. If anyone has the details of the gouges he uses I would be most grateful if you could impart that information unto me.
Many thanks
