Has this been asked before ?, probably but I couldn,t find it so if you don,t mind we,ll go again
I play an old ginberg pratise set but soon to have a Mark Donohoe half set

RORY

PS It would be interesting to hear from pipers who have been playing for a long time, and have played the same set for a long time .

Had my pipes nigh on 14 years, only really been playing them nigh on 6 or 7 years if averaged out. Started with an Adrian Jeffries Chanter and Eugene Lambe drones, still playing them.

Cheers,

Hi Bill, What do you like about either of them over the other if anything? Do you prefer a particular set for particular situations?

Cheers,

Gallagher 1/2 set in D, someday a full set.

Wouldn't think of switching to any other set, add a K&Q set maybe.

The Thomas set was my first set and isn't played on a regular basis. The Childress set is my primary instrument. I've come to prefer the Childress drones over the Thomas drones, but I was never dissatisfied with the Thomas drones. Childress chanter reeds have been much more robust and allowed me to play more and fettle less.

Cillian O Briain half set. Hopefully will be adding a couple of Michael Hubbert regs to it in the relatively near future...

1 full set in D.
Chanter by Johnny Bourke.
Regulators by Kevin Thompson.
Drones by Leo Rowsome, Kevin Thompson and Davis Biosvert!

Also Leo Rowsome D chanter, David Daye penny chanter and a C chanter by Ian MacKenzie.

and 2 fiddles, a mandolin, a viola, a Croger flute (c.1840) whistle scattered everywhere and last week I landed in with a Hohner Verdi piano accordion ($40, you can't go wrong) but herself nearly went ape!
I know shes right, you can't get into the apartment for instruments.
