Kysh, I personally don't understand all of the fuss over Daye's penny chanter. It's a viable option. From what I've read here the majority of folks seem to like them. However, based on Daye's website, there is a "wait list" for the drones. For myself, cost was a concern, but I really wante...

On a serious note, are there any patterns/instructions for making an UP bag cover running around on the 'net anywhere?

Just think, you could get this K&Q half set and then add these regulators to it!

Actually Springfield is still touring. The wife and I went to a Second Chance Prom sponsored by a Raleigh NC radio station a few years ago and the artist they booked was none other than Rick himself. I wonder how "Don't Talk to Strangers" would sound on the UP's... hmmm... nevermind and pe...

The obsession begins...

I have just paid for a second hand Patrick Sky Practice set from a gentleman in Eastern Tennessee and I am now dizzy with anticipation. It's Sky's full practice set in ebony with a c nat key and a spare reed. The set is about a year old and the current owner is upgrading to a Kennedy half set I beli...

Jim - check your PM.

Also would this leather need to be treated to make it airtight?

Thanks again for the replies!

Peace!

What weight/thickness of leather for Bellows?

If one were thinking about making their own bellows, what leather would one need?

Thanks!

Highlight this post to reveal a slightly risque, maybe even NSFBSK caption for this photo... (in other words don't read if you get easily offended).

I use Nev-R-Dull on my NSP's. I just pinch off a piece and wipe down the brass (keys included) and then buff w/ a cotton cloth. Virtually no fuss and it doesn't leave any of that "flaky white stuff" in crevices...etc.

Does NSP Bellows + nice chanter = lunacy?

After having missed an eBay auction for the Brittonized Vignoles practice set, and missing out on an O'Grady half set for $1400, I am about to beat my brains out... but that's not the point of this post. I have a set of Northumbrian Smallpipes in F. What I want to know is would that bellows be suffi...
