Hi Looking into getting a new bag on my full Childress set.. It has an L&M bag now.. I do have a gortex bag, the one with the grommets for the stocks, on my GHB and wondering if there is similar for Uilleann pipes..? Has anyone had any experience with other than leather bag? How did it work out ...

Speaking of lube.. Is there anything one is suppose to do to keep the key hinges working freely. I would think grime and dirt would get in between the block and pins etc. Little drop of oil maybe. Or nothing.

When not dirty t...

Thanks Johnnie Hi and thanks for all the help but only thing I must add is that I do not have a problem with looseness its tightness that is the problem as I stated in my first post...

Hi I have a set of pipes and they use cork in the drones. But I find them very stiff to move the drones when tuning.. Is there a difference in the performance of cork or thread.. I been thinking of changing them to thread or hemp. So they can work similar to my McCallum GHB drones. Any thoughts on t...

Was wondering what is proper way to season a leather hide Uilleann bag.. ?? What to do with the inlets where the chanter goes and also the drone block that goes into the bag and bellows connection? I have never seasoned any bag have read about GHB seasoning, but I am thinking it might be different f...
