hey christian,
can't seem to find that info on the website... which page is it on?

thanks jim,
the regs on the set I have are quite different from those in the picture. I'll try to post a pic here...

hello, I play a "frankenset"... most of it is by matt kiernan, and made from greenheart. Almost looks like mahogany, but it seems harder and denser. The regs are not made from greenheart, but possibly cocobolo or a similar rosewood, and the workmanship is definately not to the same standar...

hi, just wanted to let you all know that my band The Duhks has a new self-titled CD out on Sugarhill Records. It was produced in Nashville by Bela Fleck and Gary Paczosa, and although it is NOT traditional Irish music, there are uilleann pipes on two of the tracks, and some irish tunes mixed in with...

hey tom, it seems by some miracle that I might actually be around on those dates. I'll definately try to make it down!

I would imagine if we all got together and (here might be the tr...

I'm going to repost the above in new thread....

hello, it seems there's enough interest in reamers to make it worthwhile looking into having a run made by a machine shop somewhere. I would imagine if we all got together and (here might be the tricky part) decided on the dimensions we could get a bunch made for relatively cheap. (i.e. <$300). Mayb...

hello, ordered a half set in B, ebony brass and boxwood. Didn't think to ask if he would take less than 50% down... He figured I'd be waiting about a year. Don't know if it's longer for a full set? He did have a beautiful full set in B, ebony brass and art ivory I think, that he was building on spec...

oh yeah,
Kevin R. is pretty cool too... his Bflat set is ridiculous. In a good way...

Awesome guy. Awesome piper. Truly awesome pipes.
I'm the newest addition to his waiting list (which is still pretty short!).
