Thanks again Rory for your input.
There have been over 6,500 reads of this thread to date, which would indicate that the members are interested in how it plays out. But, if it helps, I will offer a simple shortcut towards a conclusion.
If Mr Castro posts screenshots of the returned emails to me, the returned letters, or proof he ever tried to phone me I will donate the refund to a front line Covid charity of his choice. Otherwise his entire position falls apart.
It was always about more than the money.

- Tell us something.: I joined to hear the opinions of others on various topics concerning the uilleann pipes. I am especially interested in learning about reeds and developments in that area. I have been playing for a long time but I still struggle with getting reeds - particularly the chanter - sounding the way I would like them. I am also curious about electronic devices that imitate the pipes - Warbl etc. I may have something to offer to younger players.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
I think a better analogy would be the monkey in Aesop's Fables. He got caught because his fist was jammed too tight in the food jar. His instincts would not allow him to do the obvious thing - let go of the food - until it was too late, and so his fate was sealed.
And on that note I am concluding my involvement with this thread. Unless Mr Castro tries to post the (non-existant) returned emails there is no reason to keep this going. Thanks again to the readers and to the Moderator for steering me through my first ever social media experience.

No, Steve's analogy is demonstrably better.Liam Learner wrote:I think a better analogy would be the monkey in Aesop's Fables. He got caught because his fist was jammed too tight in the food jar.

Re: Availability of VPipes
Or perhaps the confusion is which monkey fable. . .perhaps ´The Monkey and the Dolphin´ is the correct fable?
