In my dreams...

... it makes sense to buy from a reputable maker near you or at least in the same country - otherwise you run into problems with overseas shipping costs, customs, time in transit, communication costs, CITES, .... etc. etc. I can empathize. I bought my Northumbrian Smallpipes from Ian Ketchin in Sco...

Would this be your "rash" decision? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16226&item=7307924278&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW I don't see why it would be rash. If it needs some assistance getting up to playing condition, the folks here at the board are more than hel...

It would appear that www.instrumentsoftradition.com has a healthy markup considering that they charge 1,350 Euro for a Hevia practice set with a c nat key... when one can buy the same set directly from Hevia for 1,043 Euro. If you take a look at Hevia's website, the price for their keyless practice ...

Numbness can sometimes mean the onset of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Sit at your kitchen table (or your desk) and put your elbows on the table. Hold your forearms straight up and let hour hands dangle forwards. If after a couple of minutes your fingers begin to tingle or go to sleep, you probably have C...

... and at the rate I am going, I will be able to play like Becky Taylor sometime early in the Third Millenium.

From what I gathered at the BSG boards at scifi.com, I think it was written by McCreary for the series. Apparently the UP themes will appear in future episodes. I don't usually muck about in the scifi forums... but I wanted to know what the piece was as well. There was one thread about the music fro...

Is this the piece y'all are referring to?

OMG they only went for $761.61! Thats almost 1 Grand less than a new set of Pat's Drones.

Did you get them PJ?

I am really wishin' that I had put in a bid... regardless of the trouble I'd get in with the DW.

If I wouldn't end up in divorce court, I'd put in a bid. Quite a deal at the current $650 considering they cost $1700 new. Will be interesting to see what the final bid is.

I've had the same problem while playing my Northumbrian pipes. I can't remember if Ian Lawther or Jim McGilvray suggested that I rest the chanter on my right leg and completely take my thumb off of the chanter. It's a weird feeling at first, but it helped my death grip. Likewise, the same advice has...

I just picked up a second hand practice set made by Pat Sky. I can vouch for it's quality. The chanter has dished toneholes and that makes getting my fingers into position MUCH easier... I wish my NSP F set were like that (but alas, there ain't enough sidewall to the chanter for it). Pat's bellows a...

FWIW - My copy of the HJ Clarke tutor arrived yesterday. I have been car traveling today and playing the cd to try to get my mind wrapped around some of the concepts. I actually swore out loud when I got to track 12 (lesson 12) and noticed the severe jump in complexity. Does anyone have an opinion a...
