What a terrible thing to happen ,I hope and pray John gets them back soon.
The McAloon chanter is the brown one in the middle and I think John,s set is the one on the left !!

Maybe it might be a good idea to put a couple of notices up in milltown next week, the npu shop and maybe stick a few up in shop windows etc?

maybe someone with a vast collection of pipes (there are a few out there!)has a loan set for John, I mean how many sets can you play at once?

Cheers everybody for your concern and helpful suggestions. Greatly appreciated. I'm getting things sorted at the moment, a chanter and drones I think which should tide me over until ..... my pipes return

Anyway, I would appreciate it if you could still keep a keen eye out for them. It could be a while before they surface, that's if they ever do. I'm praying and praying!
Cheers again
John

Hi John

I know of a whistle distrubutor in New South Whales who may be able to lend you (give you) a whistle or two. I've given him an email so hopefully he'll get onto you. Meanwhile you may like to check out Mitch Gatz's website http://www.ozwhistles.com.

As Willie Week and the Saint Chartier festival are immenent, perhaps those going should keep an eagle eye out for this set.

Yes - John has already been advised we will be looking out at St Chartier which is certainly a possibility. Willie Week - would not have thought they would turn up there so soon as too many pipers around who would know but then again you can never tell.

Still no news I'm guessing. Just keeping it fresh.

I think this is the loan set of pipes John is playing here.

Is that a Joe Kennedy chanter there?

PD.

I don't think so. The windcap doesn't look right for it, and I don't believe Joe has ever made a boxwood chanter before.
