The snakewood chanter is stunning.....well, the whole set is stunning, but the chanter especially so.

I am trying to decide which style of drones I want. It is a toss up between this style:

... or this style:

Any thoughts on this?

I like the u-bend and puck bass drone end better... That said, I think my drones will be the first style...

Personally, I like the second style better. When the bass drone faces away from you, you aren't able to hear it the same way as when it turns towards you.

I agree. There is also the matter of shutting it off while tuning it...as David pointed out to me, the reach would make it nearly impossible. I will go the route of the hockey puck....I wonder if David could get Wayne Gretzky to autograph it.

You've a couple of good teams closer to home. I would think you'd have more luck trying for an autograph there (if they ever come back

).

Taht is easily fixed. Just up the dosage of you medication by a factor of 20-30%.....should do the trick.

do what we do at work: have one of your buddies hip check into you forcing you into the cubicle aisle walls while someone else slaps the cubicle divider

maybe upping the dosage is the better idea

Actually, I was of the same mind set here, when a number of years ago the Minnesota North Stars split for Texas.....grrrrrrrrrrr. The game hasn't meant as much to me since....but at least there are a few good pipers down that way.
