Tell us something.: I started with playing bamboo flutes. But I transitioned to primarily playing the Boehm flute a few lessons ago with the aim of getting good music instruction. However, I've been transitioning to playing Irish Traditional Music on simple flutes.

Thanks, elbowmusic. :thumbsup:

Do you happen to have experience interacting with Brian Bigley? I will probably try to contact him, as I don't have many leads, but I am also curious, how do you know about him?

Tell us something.: I'm back in the uilleann piping world after a ten year hiatus. Uilleann piping chops, here I come!

I'm a smallpipe and Border pipe maker and we'll just see where that leads to.

Brian and I apprenticed together with Seth Gallagher. We were roommates as well.

I haven't seen him in a while now, as we live far apart, but I can tell you he is a very good piper, and multi-instrumentalist, and champion step dancer.

He's got a really good duet album with Brian Holleran, by the way.
