They're here
No, not the ghosts . . .
Well, I got a package in the mail from Ray Sloan, and behold!
my apologies for the poor lighting today.
Here's someone who really liked Ray's work . . .
I'm definitely going to enjoy learning on this set. I'm noticing the difference already. The feel is very different compared to a penny-chanter, so it will take some getting used to the key mounts, but they don't feel like they're in the way, which is cool. The sound is really amazing! It's LOUD! I am now confined to practicing in the walk-in closet to deaden the sound as we are in a condominium building. BIG difference in volume compared to the medium-bore penny chanter I've been playing. The sound is very brilliant and rich; I can almost hear every harmonic in every note. It's a very live sound. The tuning is very balanced.
As to the rest of the set, the bag seemed a little small. However, after starting to play I found Ray's set to require less air than I anticipated, so the bag volume I found to be more than adequate. The bellows are solid and Ray's turning work is excellent.

Oh, and I will move the pictures over to the pics page . . . as soon as I get a better shot in the sunlight. The buffalo horn mounts are really pretty, and the grain shows better in the sun. Tomorrow there will be some storms, so it may be a little bit.
