Does he make all the different types himself??

I pulled this off his website...

I was tought to make Uilleann Pipes by Matt Kiernan.
Since 1983 I have been making other types of bagpipes as well, but I specialise in Uilleann Pipes

I think it's one or two. Jens is definately there and there was another person, but I don't remember his/hers name.

@ rory:
But it's a quite normal range for a pipemaker in that region. If you look at the webpages of Alban Faust, Bodo Schulz, Michael Hoffmann etc you will see that they have different types in their programme. It's the market in Germany and around ...

I Think there are three working with him , Jen´s plus two women ( I dont know their names) . He tends to work exclusively on reeds and fine tuning . A really nice man and very helpful , with reed-making advise. And a great craftsman.

Jens and Heike +? Heike Horstmann is a very fine maker in her own right and has been with Andreas making pipes for a good number of years.She made my Boxwood C.I have had this set for a few years now and it has never needed the regs to be fine tuned, quite amazing really, it has played spot on whenever I have used it. A big thankyou to Heike the unsung heroine of pipemaking.(although Andreas makes all the reeds)

I had heard that Heike had moved on, true?

And a terrific piper as well with some lovely tunes. She fitted me up for my practice set and taught me to play my very first scale. Oh I'm getting all nostalgic now for Tuebingen...

Is that near Tubingen

Whenever I look at Rogge's site, I can't get past this set:
