Froment, i think?

The short video of you playing is one of the most enjoyable videos of uilleann piping I've seen in some time.

Have you perused the vastness of blueprints on both pipers.ie and http://seanreidsociety.org/ ?

I prefer "solid stock".

Wow, great production value on that concert. What a treat!

I'm just a small(pipes) minded American.

Whoops! You're very right. I'm ashamed of my US-centric error!

In the US - Jordan McConnell. Dirk Mewes. Mike Dow. Brian Bigley.

Oh, cool. I hope it ends up on Bandcamp.

So niche to be nonexistent. Other factors, would NPU be able to exist for a very limited number of pipers ? Would pipemakers be able to make a living from a very limited number of pipers ? How many pipers start on concert pitch sets and if they weren't there might not start at all ? How many pipers...

Ezee drone, at least in the past, are not as good at quality control as one might prefer. Double check that the adjusting screws are air tight. I once helped someone with a set of MacCallum/Morrsion pipes where the bass drone just wouldn't behave. Like, wouldn't do anything but squeal. After trying ...

Maybe inefficient drone reeds. Possibly possible to adjust them. What kind of reeds are they (and who made them)?

There are pipemakers working today who drill the holes first. Good point regarding getting the holes lined up with the bore....

I found the way he was working the slip with a knife very familiar as would anyone who's watched BK make a reed I think.

Really cool to see Mr. Rowsome work.

He's realizing his original dream of becoming a full time pipemaker, which he couldn't do while making bellows and bags for pipemakers.
