Looks very good! But if you want to estabish yourself as an Uilleann Pipe Maker - changer your name from tradBANJOman to tradPIPERman !

Good Luck !

That is very nice work indeed Marcello. Very crisp and clean. Are we to be treated to a sound sample?

Marcelo Muttis · Post by **Marcelo Muttis** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 8:14 am

Yes I´ll try to record something soon that i´m playing a "little" better/acceptable. Should I post it to Clips´n Snips? Is that the way?

That is the nicest lookin chanter i have ever seen.

Who made it?

Marcelo Muttis · Post by **Marcelo Muttis** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 11:26 am

I did. My only desire is to harvest the same compliments about the sound,
I will post a clip next week.
I´m now busy reeding my own chanter ´cause I broke the reed while tuning the pic chanter. Gotta play in a wedding next saturday 22nd

Very Very well done.Are you hoping to pursue pipemaking as a career?
Where did you learn to make pipes?Did you make your own set?

Marcelo Muttis · Post by **Marcelo Muttis** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 8:08 am

Yes I pursue that dream, but with feet on earth and hands on the lathe

, I love the UP, I love making, I´m trying to make instruments since I was 10 (obviously not UP but andean quenas, pan flutes etc.)
And learning... hmm... I think it´s still a process I read a lot from internet, the forums, other kind of pipe´s sources where the tools to make are similar, I tried a lot, I failed a lot, I´ve improve a lot, I´ve started with whistles in 2000, with smallpipes in 2003 and with uilleann pipes about three years ago.
My last step in improvement was when I got in touch with Davy Stephenson few months ago(God bless that man) from who I´m waiting some measurements to get more confidence to my finished work.
