So, last night I went in to work ( I have a normal military job, but evenings I go to Regimental Pipe and Drum practice) and I was issued a brand new Seery polymer flute. ISSUED!
I just thought that was pretty cool, unlimited access to a free, great flute!
Also meaning, that my Hall and Sons is essentially back on the market (I've ordered an Olwell)
and oddly enough I am allergic to Mopane! So my Mopane Dekeyzer has to go! Additionally the crack, which another person found, and I never could has now finally been found after drying the thing out until it could have been a dinosaur bone! It's a tiny hairline down the barrel, so into the shop it goes.
So make me an offer on either flute if interested, and how cool is that!
A Canadian Army pipe band issued an Irish flute!
Check this out!

seery
It is a great deal! And Seery flutes suit the military well, nearly indestructible, great tone and lots of volume.
Thanks for the luck!

Regiment
I belong to the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, a Highland Reserve Regiment within the 33rd Canadian Army Brigade Group. The Regiment is housed in Cartier Square Drill Hall in downtown Ottawa.
We are issued pipes, bags, reeds, cases, combat uniforms and equipment, dress uniforms from kilt and CF regulation shirts and jackets up to full dress green tunics and white shells. The seery was issued because I play the irish flute in some of our mixed instrument performances (guitar, bass, bouzuki and drum set players exist as secondary specialties aside from piping and drumming) so a seery which could take a beating and sound good made sense. Essentially all of our instruments and equipment are issued, some people use their own pipes/ personal drone reeds and make some modifications to their tactical kit.
Oh I forgot, chanters are also issued!

Re: Regiment
full time army brigade and a reservist in the regiment--how often does that commitment take
