It arrived yesterday.
According to the seller :
Now to be honest, I have not piped in awhile so the reeds did get dry in the 7 below zero temperature...
I spent 6 hours last night bringing the reeds back to life, and then played for another 4 hours or so, until 3:00 AM.
Well, the chanter and drone reeds came back to life, anyway. I've only managed to half-resuscitate the regs so far.
But man, the chanter and drones are sounding freakin' great!
B is the best.
Any advice/suggestions about getting regulators playing (a) at all, (b) in tune, and (c) steadily, would be great.
So far I've got the tenor somewhat close to in tune, but it's very pressure sensitive, and notes will go sharp, flat, or become entirely different notes at the slightest provocation.
The baritone is sharp with the reed all the way out. There's a rush in there, but I could make it a bit thicker.
One note on the baritone isn't working at all; it just squeaks, gasps and falls silent.
But anyway, mainly I'm celebrating.
