Hi,

Former highland bagpiper, tin whistle and other instrument dabbler.

I had some cheap uilleann pipes bought for me a few years ago (well intentioned) I had a nice piper in Sydney NSW Australia take a look at them, he said that the chanter was about the only OK thing, the rest wasn't up to scratch: bellows, bag, drones, reeds should all be replaced which I am investigating doing on the relative cheap, I'd be looking for a half set, though funds are tight as I am a student.

He supplied me with a much nicer reed that he made and I fiddled for a few months but couldn't get everything together and sounding nice.

Any helpful advice? Any pipers in Perth WA?

Look up Ormonde Waters.

Irish club in subi can help with details.

Slán, Liam.

Sent him an email.

I sent Ormond an email and tried his number but all I got was static from two different phones and no reply as yet to the email, I want to catch up with someone and pick their brain for a while, any other contacts in Perth?
