Has anyone played, or owned a set of Bradley Angus sets? He builds out of the pacific northwest.

Also, does anyone recognise maker marks that appear on a chanter? They look like little dragons at the top and bottom?

Go raibh maith agat,

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

Dionys, you can see pictures of Brad's work on Patrick D'Arcy's website: http://www.concentric.net/~pdarcy/page5/page5f.shtml
Brad is a full-time pipemaker who specializes in high-end custom hand crafted pipes, especially in flat pitched sets.
I have no direct experience with his pipes but, I've heard they are very mellow (quiet) sounding.
