The faint of heart and elderly play flat sets

Does this mean only young makers can make concert sets and elderly ones flat sets

The wisdom of age over the fleeting immortality of youth perhaps?

[quote="JI would defintely encourage you to consider a 'flat pitch' set if you can swing the mullah[/quote]

Do you mean "moolah"? "Swing the Mullah" is an Iranian dance I believe, done in the mosque on which is probably the slightly-less-holiest night of the year. Popularized by Ali and the Ayatollahs in the 60's.

I used to play concert D.

Since I switched to a flat set, every time I pick up a concert D chanter I see this:

Enough said.

I really like my concert half set by Michael Vignoles...but when Phil Sexton let me try his C chanter made by Seth Gallagher...WOW !

All I can say is it's time to break the piggy bank (again).....I hope my son doesn't notice this time !

Slan,

P. S. The music sound files by Gallagher doesn't do it justice....you must listen in person to really get a feel for them !

Thanks again Phil !

I think this goes without saying for any set of pipes, especially before purchasing.

Just me though...

No wonder Phil is so sold on his C set. Problem is he's looking for a C session, in our area we're lucky to have any session. He seemed to enjoy Paddy's D set last Saturday! I thought we'd have to tie him to his chair!

BTW Greensboro isn't too far from Bristol, lets get together sometime. We're getting two new UP'ers in our area. One lad has Kirk Lynch cleaning up a set for him, and another friend of mine met Michael Vignoles at DollyWood and she ordered a half-set from him there. I'm loosing my monopoly.
