Hello all! This is a 3D model of my narrow bore D half set of pipes made by Sam Lawrence. I hope you enjoy it! I've been training people in UK NW heritage museums and institutions on how to build digital 3D models for research and public engagement. I thought I would do my pipes as a demonstration. ...

Definitely Kelleher traditional! The bag and bellows I got with my set quickly became very leaky (deflated in <10 seconds from leaks), so I replaced them with a Kelleher traditional standard bag and bellows and they are amazing! The bag and bellows I bought from them are still completely solid after...

Yeah I've got to say whatever the shape Kelleher bags (and bellows) are amazing! Their leather is amazing and stopped the bad habits I'd picked up with my first (very leaky) bag and bellows. They were also amazingly helpful, professional and extremely friendly! I would immediately recommend them to ...

Hello, I don't know what I've got myself into (well actually I didn't, someone else put me forward!) but I've been asked to do a talk for something called Nerdnite (http://www.nerdnite.com/). As it's the on 19th of October and International Uilleann Piping day is the 20th it only makes sense to do i...

Hello, I'm moving to Cornell for 5-6 months and I was wondering if there's anyone in that area? or does anyone know any pipers in the area? Unfortunately I'll miss the Catskills week (I arrive just afterwards) but I've heard Catskills near enough (in US concept of distances hahaha) to Cornell. I'll ...

hello! I've just begun learning (2 weeks!) with a new Dave Shaw practice set and it's going great! I'm in Paris now though and the problem is I live in a room that's around 9m2 in the top of an old french building. I didn't quite realised I would be living in such a tiny place when I order the pipes...
