Ive had 2 lumbar surgeries within the past 1 1/2 years, leaving me fused in most of my lumber spine. Ive also had 2 cervical surgeries as well. I played the uilleann pipes prior to all this, and now am attempting to get back into it. But, when I play it causes a good amount of discomfort on my right...

Any used Galloway sets out there that might be up for sale? I love that regulator keywork

Im aware that Kelleher is no longer in business, but does anyone know if he still supplies parts for bellows he sold? im in need of the metal fixture that screws into the bellows from the blowpipe tube. Or is that a part that can be bought elsewhere?

Im selling a Benson Bubinga practice set. The chanter is his basic one, no keys. It presently has a reed which is playing, but could use some tweaking or replacement depending on your taste.

need a bassoon?

Has anyone noticed the shipping details? USPS economy? Up to 15 days? Thats a disaster waiting to happen for the pipes! And the shipping costs aren't cheap....$65? you could easily do UPS ground for that. Sketchy
