If there's anyone out there who would be so kind as to post staple dimensions for the Boston Uillieann Pipeworks C chanter, I would be grateful.
I emailed the workshop and got no response.

Give a man a wooden reed and he'll play in the driest of weather,
Teach a man to make a wooden reed,
and the both of ye will go insane!

Re: Boston Pipe Works C Chanter Staple Dimensions?
Does not one person out there own a C chanter of this make? Does anyone know the maker, as I have yet to receive an answer to my inquiry via email.
Thanks

A staple for C chanter dimensions by top makers usually is 3.2 id by 50 - 52 mm.
Can you give measurements of the C reed in this chanter.
Head length/width, scrape length overall length of reed.
A photo of the C reed would be good to see.
Cheers

- Tell us something.: Been a piper about 20 years (uilleann), flute on and off over the years, classical and trad. Played classical piano growing up, bought one recently for my daughter to take lessons on, and got right back into it, but this time playing Irish tunes (Pádraig O'Reilly is my current idol).

Re: Boston Pipe Works C Chanter Staple Dimensions?
Just this past weekend, I got a UPB chanter in C. I don't have measurements to hand, but could probably get them over the weekend, if that would help. I've got 3-month-old twins, so I'm a little distracted these days 
Remind me (PM me) if I don't post over the weekend.

...I used a 5/32 tubing which was considerably smaller than what the reed that came w/it had. I built a curly maple reed for it and the chanter works!
me happy!

Re: Boston Pipe Works C Chanter Staple Dimensions?
So, as promised (if a little late), some reed dimensions for Boston Uilleann Pipeworks C chanter reed.
Head width: 10.6mm
Reed length: 82.4mm
Brass tubing, 4mm internal diameter
And, as best I could estimate without dismantling the reed, the staple length is about 48mm.
Hope that helps.
