As of this afternoon the Feathers B&B had one room left at $75 per night.
Great place and lots of CLW attendees stay there.

However, I still need to do more reed work on the set to get the chanter, drones and regs properly balanced. (I was wanting to have this done by now but I've been working too much overtime!! )

The set consists of a Chris Langan chanter with Cnat key, 2 wooden chanter tops (for different diameter bag intakes), spare practise bag and padded bellows. The drones and regs are by Ginsburg. (There used to be a picture of them up on the Chris Langan website but I see that Paul has re-jigged the picture section.)

I am willing to part with just the drones and regs if someone wants to add to their existing practise set. Otherwise it is for sale as a full set.

If anyone wants me to bring them to the weekend for a "look see" let me know. Otherwise I'm going to keep working on the reeds until I'm satisfied.

You should post a photo of the set, or at least a photo of the chanter.

Hey PJ,

I'll be toting the digital camera along so we should get a few high-res pics anyways

Here ya go!

The first pic has the full set with a Joe Kennedy wooden chanter top so that it fits more standard bag inlets.

The bottom picture is the original Chris Langan practise set. It's same chanter in both pics - different tops.

Question for the staff:

How early will the Tranzac club be open tomorrow?

Cheers,
Stephanie

The Tranzac is first and foremost a boozer, so I expect it to be open from at least noon. http://www.tranzac.org/tranzac_index.html
Registration for CLW starts on Friday at 5:30 p.m. through to 7:30 p.m. after which the fireworks begin.

What some will do for a decent drone.

Tee hee -- I had just deleted my post as I realized I mistakenly posted this publicly and not as a PM to Stephanie. Oh well!

The last time Mick O'Brien was in Toronto (for Chris Langan Weekend when it was still happening in the dead of winter), his drone reeds clammed up due to the low temperatures and ultra-low humidity of the Toronto winter. So during his concert he jokingly invited everyone to the upstairs bathroom so he could play his Bb chanter with the ice-machine's drones!

That's funny stuff.

Yes. I'll be the fool on crutches, pouring sweat and gasping out his last breath before turning blue and keeling over. I think I will be inviting a lot of suffering, but since this is the only tionól of the year I feel I'd better make the effort.

Hope to see you there.

And waddaya mean "only tionol of the year". There's the Pipers' Gathering in August which is within reasonable driving distance.
