Hi. Ive been playing a half-set by Kwistout for the past 8 years now. Time to move on to a full set, and looking for a flat set by a reputable maker. Anyone know anything about Chris Bailey's sets?

Sounds like you're in the UK or Europe somewhere. What key are you interested in and how long do you expect to wait for a flat pitched full set?

Bagpipeworks http://www.bagpipeworks.com/
has a half set in B on special. Fitting regulators to it would cut down on your wait.

Brad Angus had a full set in B as of last month anywhere else, you might have a minimum of 1 1/2 years wait.

For those of you reading this who haven't seen Christopher Bayley's website, visit:
http://www.bagpipeworld.co.uk/ in it you'll find some awesome pictures of pipes there.

I've seen the name Kwistout a few times before but I can't recall if there is a website. Do you have a link ?
