Hi all,

I just acquired a practice set from Nick Whitmer and I'm in need of some lessons! Does anyone know of someone in the DC area who teaches?

Thanks.......Ron

Have you contacted the House of Musical Traditions? They're located in Takoma Park and have a long list of teachers , including pipes, in the metro area.

Their website is hmtrad.com, and they should be in all the local directories.

I've hooked up with Mark Hillmann in Silver Spring, MD. Mark is a great piper who also makes some fine pipes as well!
