Just to clarify, Joey on right—Torrin on left. And, agree, the concerts were wonderful.

Best wishes.

Chris gray's chanter head looks interesting. I wonder if you could somehow introduce some smoke into the system just to see how the air travels into the reed .

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

When I saw your post originally, I just thought you must be looking at it from the players' perspective. I had the thought ... and moved on. I should have said ...

Understandable confusion. If it wasn't for Joey's tie, it's difficult to tell them apart.

Best wishes.

I confused myself thinking right-handed and left-handed rocking the pipes and maybe not thinking at all while engulfed in the rapture of the moment. Yes, the tie always works for me.
