Perhaps the air tube on the chanter is the way that this set is extended and converted from a "D" set to a "Bb" set.

:P

Tell us something.: Be sure to check out my historic music podcast if you are interested in that sort of thing. I play between 10-20 tunes from sources primarily from the eighteenth of early nineteenth century on Uilleann Pipes, Great Highland Bagpipes, Scottish Small Pipes, Border Pipes and whistles. https://www.wetootwaag.com/

"Local gene deficint woman challenges an octopus to a Jello Wrestling match. June(the one born without the proper genes to be labeled as a nonretard) thought she had an upperhand on the lifeless creature, but the police had a hard time pulling the creature from around her waist, June commented "'It was a hard fought match, but dedication and determination got me through this one"' In rebuttle the octopus said '"First of all I'm not an Octopus prick, and even though I may have been made in durha durkhastan, tomorrow morning when I wake up you'll still be an idiot!"' More on this story as it progresses."

Imagine what the poor chanter reed must look like, bobbing around in the blowpipe!

I've a feeling the 'old timer' may have been taking the seller for a ride when he explained the workings and the set up of the pipes. He's probably still rolling around the floor in fits of laughter.

The chanter reed cane is probably snapped off near the top of the bridle.

you mean it doesn't have a V8?

you know I wonder if these guys, or any of the online "stores" that obviously have no idea how to put them together ever attempt to get a squeak out of it?

I have a hunch that the reed which comes with this sets' chanter would be of the "styrene and poorly rolled copper staple" variety.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I thought it was Tammie Faye Baker. She found a new gizmo to spray her makeup on for her. She doesn't need the trowel anymore.

Highlight this post to reveal a slightly risque, maybe even NSFBSK caption for this photo... (in other words don't read if you get easily offended).
