Hello,

Making a trip in June to Dublin and want to pop in at REAL Trad pubs - not tourist traps like Temple Bar.

Anyone care to make a quick run down of great trad pubs in Dublin City?

Thanks in advance!

SOLD

I just posted one for sale yesterday...no cracks or dents - great deep Pratten sound on the lower hand.

Also posted in Exchange Forum.

All the best,

Michael

Wow.

If you look at the second photo, the chief excutive officer for "Halifax", does not even know HOW TO HOLD or PLACE HIS FINGERS on the bagpipe itself !!!

How can any news organization give any air time at all for this rubbish?

Just got a reponse from Rob - everything is fine.

He just got bogged down in emails, but we are on schedule. Looking forward to a new Forbes flute!

Thanks!

Hello to all - I ordered a flute from Rob Forbes a while back and at that time he estimated it should be ready by mid June.

I sent him 2 unanswered emails and was wondering , does anyone have his phone number?

Please PM me with it.

Thanks!

That's great news JD!

Soooooo....Now that you have played the blackwood and now have the delrin...can you give us a quick review of the differences between the two?

Some of us are on the fence and hoping you cound shed some light.

Cheers!

Thank God that's not true - or else I would be playing a Paskistan set!

Definately a good cause.

Hello Talbert- are the whistles for sale the new V3 or an older version? A clear photo will be a deciding factor.

Cheers!

I am looking to buy a Low D and narrowed my decision between the Alba Vibe, Chieftain V3, and Ceol Pro by Ethnic Winds. Reading different reviews can be very helpful - but I am looking for someone who has either of these whistles and wishes to send a quick sound sample. I am guessing if you really l...

Nick, you should let Pat D'Arcy from Uilleannobsession.com know also, if you haven't already.
