For sale: E regulator made by Nick Whitmer, solid as a rock with three reeds. Made for D/concert pitch set. I'm selling it to fund another project. Pictures, sound samples available on request. Please send me a private message if interested.

Where does an E reg fit . Is it straight onto the main stock

Yes, where the tenor regulator goes. Or, it can be mounted inboard or outboard with a connected tube.

I played my set like that for many years, with a E reg in place of the small reg in the mainstock.

It fills in the missing note of the scale playable on the lower two regs

G A B C D (E) F# G A

Also in D scales:

D, E, F#, G and A

Some nice chords G/E, A/Eand B/E.

I have an E reg mounted inboard on my Whitmer D set. Îll try find a photo.

You could also try ,ert gde xyz and kpq especially in the Dorian mode transcribed over the Arian mode with a bit of improvisation, the sky's the limit unless you're an astronaut because then there's no limit.

I am interested in your E regulator. I tried posting privately but could not, probably because I am a new member of the forum.

I am also new to the pipes, having started just thus last April. I have a half set of the Carbony pipes. Nice that they are made nearby in Corvallis OR USA. I was able to pick them up from the maker, Rob Gandara, and hear him play them for a bit.

As a newbie I realize it is way too soon to start with the regulators. However, being mechanically inclined, and owning a 3d printer, I have thoughts of making a custom stock for just one regulator, allowing me to try one out without taking the plunge on a full set. Carbony is not yet offering regulators in any case.

Ok. Thanks for letting me know the limitations.

Needing to post some to become a fully qualified member. Anyone else using a 3d printer to make accessories for their pipes? I printed a cap for the main stock to allow me to play with just the chanter. I sometimes fit the drones to start getting used to them, but find not having to deal with them makes practicing easier. I also have a half baked idea for making a sliding key to allow F natural to be played. Working on a prototype, not too sure my design is reasonable.

I’ll toss the other regulator (baritone, with D, G and A keys) in the deal. Like I said, I’m financing a future project/purchase.

Still for sale?

Yep!

Sale pending.
