Re: A modern direction in pipeing

:wink: Rory, I'm not convinced its' tempo is quicker than any pipering I have ever heard.

I wish on...

But the gouges and calipers and affiliated stuff were off-putting to me at first (although now that I've started reedmaking, I'm actually enjoying destroying tube after tube of innocent cane -- so far, at least); they were sort of instruments of the...
