https://www.wetootwaag.com ... Jeremy's podcast is more historic tunes in the bagpiping repertoire, very interesting and I love how he digs into different versions of the same tunes. Thanks JR! I second the Fire Draw Near plug too. It is very much the show I wish I could make, I was too afraid of c...

Thanks to this forum I have a set of Kelleher bellows now. Thanks.

Well, it’s been two weeks and I’ll take the lack of a response to this as a “no, thanks” and withdraw this offer. Please accept my apologies! I foolishly gave up checking the forum after too short a time and assumed I had notifications turned on. I didn’t mean to be rude, though clearly posting and...

I'm hoping someone may have a spare set of Kelleher Bellows they'd be interested in selling? I've been borrowing a set since January, and I am already dreading returning them in December, unfortunately a new set is quite out of my price range. Thanks!

Is that the name of the 2005 b video?
It sounds pretty tempting.

Uh, where exactly do you blow into the darn thing?
Bladder and drone only? EEP!
So does that mean you don't get the canter or the bag shown,
Just a straw tied into a dried up old bladder!
GROSS!!!
Must be a highland piper selling this thing,
Paddy Finn, are you the seller????

I would have to argue that a quality instrument will improve your playing. I went from a very poorly reeded Kwisthout practice set to a half set of Greenwood pipes. In the first week with the Half set i had improved beyond what I had done with the Kwisthout set in a year. This is thanks to a couple ...

Oh, I thought they were from Ireland, my mistake.

EEk Dropkick Murphy's. Last I knew they had a GHB piper called "Spicy McHaggis". Pretty much just a drunk that can play clumsy lover and slow aire's. In the late 90's they invited me to play GHB's with them when they were in Milwaukee. I showed up after they had already tuned and said they...

Saw this over on Bob Dunsire's message boards. Gotta check it out!

D'arcy, Even your samples doing scales shame me!

Last night My pipe band wanted me to play my uilleanns throughout the entirety of Our Robert Burns supper. I feared they would pick that moment to go out of tune finally for winter, as they have been fairing so nicely up to this point (while I was only playing them in my basement). I was right, the ...

Sorry to bring up the horrid world of scottish piping, but I just got my small pipes in the mail, and neither I nor the middleman knows where they came from. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/wetootwaag/Smallpipes1.jpg"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/...

Mikey, are you a student at University Santa Cruz? My brother just moved out there for grad school and is a TA or GA or whatever, teaches an entry level politics class in the Poly Sci department. As far as getting a full set right away... I got my first practice set several years ago, didn't do too ...
