Is it a simple twist valve?

Yes. When the humidity in Quebec returns to reasonable levels I'll post a few sound clips.

Gallagher 3/4 set - regs just received this past week.

Ooo! Lovely stuff. Play them in good health!

Just remember that it is morally reprehensible to use the E reg as drone in E minor tunes.

It's also illegal in all Canadian provinces and territories although Newfoundland and Labrador allows it if there's an "R" in the month.

On the way from Nick Whitmer in two to three weeks once the reeds settle in.
C chanter with Fn & Cn keys.

Very nice. Nick showed it to me when I was in Ithaca a few weeks ago. It wasn't reeded or keyed then. Enjoy.

Just got back from Boonville, picking up my Michael Hubbert practice set. Ebony with nickel silver. Now, if I could just make it do something musical.

The other day, I posted the first video in a series in which I'm testing/demonstrating how difficult it is to learn to play the pipes (I thought the difficultly must be overstated, but I'm in the process of changing my mind...). I used a few photos from this thread throughout the first video, which is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/dereksmootz ... u9FGQQrK2w

The photos from these users appear at roughly these times, and each is only displayed for a second or two:
PJ - 1:53
dmahler - 2:00
rorybbellows - 2:05
bwilson - 2:17
O Gaiteiro Do Chicago 2:19
maze - 2:21
mikeylikesit - 2:27
misterpatrick - 4:21

If any of you have objections to my use of your photos, please let me know, and I'll reedit the video to replace them. If, on the other hand, you'd like to be credited for your pipes/photos, please let me know whether you would rather I used your C&F membername or your real name, and I'll add "Thanks to ____ for the use of their photographs" type messages in the comments section of the video.

A current project,-
Concert D drones in Plumwood, Turkish Box. Mainstock, unfinished, Australian hardwood, probably beefwood.
A sound sample can be heard over on the 'other' forum under 'Upload yer tunes' - 'Two hornpipes'.

Nice work David, congrats!!!... the turning is very clean and neat, I really like the puck. Just to Know..., Do you plan to make the hole for the valve mechanism?
Regards

Thanks Marcelo,

Yes, the mainstock is, as yet, unfinished and I will be adding the drone switch later.

Regards,

David

Here's the chanter I made earlier this year. It's the one in the sound file mentioned in the drones post above. Made from Queensland Brush Box, imitation ivory and brass -

You dog! That looks and sounds great...any ideas about a C chanter in the near future???
