My C (half) set is what really floats my boat. If volume is more important, i'll play my concert full set, though usually i leave the bass reg off and play it as a 3/4 set.

...Again with the "flat set at home, concert set out" thing. Anyone would think we're embarassed to be seen/heard playing flat pipes!

But it does seem to illustrate which set we'd play if we had to choose.

I play a K&Q 1/2 set with aspirations of owning the regs for it in the near future.

I (try to) play a widebore 1/2 set in D as well. Someday I'd like to get regs.but I'm not good enough to warrant them yet anyway.

I am playing a practice set mostly from Joe Kennedy and (as soon as I can raise the cash) a half set completely by Joe Kennedy. The B sets, though.... sweet. I'm toying with the idea of extending my current bout of poverty and ordering a B half set from him. But first to pay the rent, food, etc. Sigh. Life would be sooooo much easier without bills.

I play a D full set (Rogge) when I want to drown out the noise of the world.

I play a C chanter (K&Q) when I want to quiet the voices.

...I have just been informed...that should be The Voices

Quinn/Koehler C full-set: played 90% of the time
Gallagher concert pitch half-set: played 10% of the time

Williams/Roberts half set in D - regs from Seth Gallagher not far away.

Bb full set from Brad Angus.

The flat set gets more attention at the moment..
