Macassar ebony with Turkish boxwood mounts, Itaya maple for the mainstock. Japanese oak bellows. Four-key chanter with stop key. Folded Taylor-style bass reg. Cane chanter reed, composite drone reeds, spruce reg reeds.
They are astounding! I couldn't be happier, and Makoto is an absolute pleasure to work with. I feel so very lucky.
Tell us something.: If you flush your toilet 7 times whilst lilting "The Bucks of Oranmore", an apparition of one of the great pipers of old will appear in the mirror, you will be blessed with good reeds, but cursed with bad bags and bellows.

A few shots of my new 3/4 in B by Michael Hubbert. The set is in stabilized acid-stained domestic maple with mammoth mounts and brass. This set is based on Egan but has been brought up to modern B. It's got some great innovations including Taylor-style sliding drone shutoff, reg and chanter reeds are all the same dimensions. This beautiful belle made her debut at the SOCAL tionól and wowed. After a final voicing and finishing up the chanter keys it was shipped back here to the cold and dry midwest winter. The chanter, regs and drones immediately played in tune without any tweaking. I am extremely honored to play such a beautiful set.
If you want to dance with this lovely lady time to plan on a visit to the GNIPC tionól this coming September. Mark your calendars!

Tell us something.: I'm here because I just wanted to change my location... but it turns out much more complicated than I thought. Do I already have the 100 required characters?
