I need to send my 3/4 set in to a pipe maker for a tune-up and I can't let my chops go down the toilet in the meantime, not to mention the parties I would miss sitting in the corner pipering.
<P>
Can anyone reccomend someone or a pipering club where I can place a deposit and rent agood bag and chanter for the interim?
<P>
I live in New York State, if that makes any difference. It shouldn't in today's global economy.

Tell us something.: I used to play pipes about 20 years ago and suddenly abducted by aliens.

Sorry, Tony, I just checked back. Didn't think anyone cared.
<P>
The set's going to be gone for two to three weeks only, but I don't want my chops to go completely to Hates.

If you want to borrow my Shark in the Morning mouth-blown practice chanter, you can borrow it for the time you need for the cost of shipping. I haven't fitted it with a bag or bellows, though, because I quickly moved to a used set from a good maker after purchasing it. If I had a spare practice set, I'd send it your way.
