Defining ''out there'' is something us
pipers should be able to do quite
easily.

Well, if only players of your own ability qualify as pipers, then count me out. Been trying to make progress for about 7 years though...

Well you know what they say-
''It takes 7 years etc etc..''
So only another 14 to go.
Only kidding.We'll still be
learning when we're 80..
That's if we don't CRACK UP
before then.:

Who made your pipes, Christian?
I think a lot of it depends on developing
that LOVE -hate relationship with your
instrument!
It really bothers me if my pipes are'nt
good to me...

I wasn't aware pipes had religous affiliations.

Johnny,

I play a Rogge concert set. Actually, I'm quite happy with it, usually it is good to me. It's only sometimes that we are not in the mood for each other. So much for relationships...
Christian
