I made up my mind years ago my full concert Gallagher would be my 'PIPES FOR LIFE'...so unless I inherit a set or get filthy rich Im sticking with what I got, come hell or high water.
(Altho, the idea of a contrabass reg is making me positively drool with envy...

I have the same opinion regarding my Childress full sets - and no lust for the contrabass reg. I'm quite content with what I have now.

Taylor set with double bass reg and quadruple bore small regs

Are any makers able to do these - guess they are quite tricky to make looking at D Quinns article in SRS2. 4 tapered bores in one piece of wood and keywork on top and bottom

Snakewood

Apart from Rogge which other makers use this timber and apart from looking pretty does it give a superior sound

Chris Bayley has got some fantastic snakewood logs, but he is reserving them for full sets only. Here is a photo of the first chanter out of one of the smaller logs.

I played it after it was turned and it was excellent, and compares to any blackwood chanter.

I suggested that to discourage the frivolous dilletantes he should only make snakewood pipes after the potential buyer submits an audition CD. What do you think?

I got it cheap). 2 Practice sets in D, Ginsberg Bb chanter, Dixon B chanter, Chanters in D by Daily (2), Pakistani, Dixonised Pakistani, Bagpipes Galore plastic one (for a laugh), Martin Crossan, James Brand and an experimental pastoral chanter by Daily.

Why would you need all those?

What can I say, I am a magpie when it comes to my instruments (better not say too much about the 11 bodhrans, 3 flutes, 30 plus whistles, 2 djembes, darbuka, udu drum, talking drum and harp)

BTW I will have to add a McNicholl C chanter to the list. but the Bayley chanters are not here yet.
