Dry Dock tionol is 17th October 2004, it's the next Floating Tionol June 2005. Sorry for any confusion.

Uilliam, you say you had a Howard chanter years back, it won't have had an Iris on then will it?

As for the reed making kit, I've seen it work. Again don't knock it till you've tried it!

Er no...
I said it was in tune so it didnae need one :boggle:
I wish ye would just answer the question, it isnae difficult.
Put it another way .....If he didn't need an Iris on his chanter way back,and it played perfectly well(which it did) what has happened to the design of his chanter to make it so necessary nowadays?

As for the reed making kit, I've seen it work. Again don't knock it till you've tried it!
If ye read my post ye will find that I.... said if... it doesn't turn out as expected......and then went on to explore the scenario,should that be the case.
Now then if this is not the case and Brian would happily give back the money if the reed turns out to be under par...then brilliant..but is this so??
IMO there is no such thing as a universal reed no more than there is a universal chanter.
now if that were the not the situation we wouldnae have a problem.
So have a wee look at what I am saying before being so defensive!

Maybe I am being a bit hard on ye here (after all its not your business is it?)and ye can't answer..if that be the case there is no shame in it...ye won't be the first one to fall under the Iris of Rasputin :o
Oh, and if ye come north o Hadrians Wall,I wouldnae advise ye calling the natives ..tight...they might not take too kindly to that :wink:

Uilliam, If you ever come South of the border, I wouldn't advise opening yer gob, as whatever you say you will probably offend someone.

Such a shame people want to knock new developments, but has oft been the way of the world.

So I take it that is your considered and final answer on my query!

I have edited the main portion of this post for three reasons
1)Alans fine example
2)Becky is right.
3)I'm bored with this.


Gob by the way is Irish for Beak as in bird..... water off a duck's back etc... and I'll leave it at that.
