No parts were modified from original (no undercutting, boring or anything of the sort). The next step is reeding (which might well be impossible). Nick Whitmer was kind enough to make measurements and give permission to post them.
you should bring them down to a club meeting in San Juan when you get a chance. We'd all like to see what they look like

Spot on, ausdag! But, I was using ChasR's phraseology, if you'll look a few posts up.

The photo is either a left handed piper playing a right handed set of pipes (original posting of the photo) or a right-handed piper with a left handed set (mirror or 'negative' image). Judging by the buttons on his waist coat (as Rob suggests), it's a leftie piper with a right handed set of pipes. The alternative is that it's a mirror image photo and the piper is wearing a lady's waist coat.

Re: Found in the Attic - Taylor-Style Full Set
Has anyone tried making a set of these yet? If so, how does it sound? Come to that how does the original set sound?
