Anyone here play a half or full set of hybrid pipes? Meaning chanter from one person, drones from another, regs someone else. And, why a hybrid as opposed to a single set from one maker?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of putting together such a set?

I know some people who play hybrid sets and seem to like them. I've also seen sets cobbled together using antique and new components.
The general opinion I've received is that it's hard enough to manage & maintain pipes made by one maker, the hybrids carry the potential of increasing those headaches.
I'm probably not the best informed on this subject, so I hope you get other opinions.

Hey, it's nice to be remembered.......I do like my hybrid set, but am taking advantage of my close proximity to Joe Kennedy and so have ordered a set form him. I just started a Phd in Music Education (witha cognate in Wind Band conducting- how's that for a mouthful?) and am up to my bellow arm in work. My point, off topic, is that I am considering a dissertation on informal/formal learning in Irish trad music(particularly piping) and though that this forum has potential for gathering info..........

sorry for the late post,i've been away for a few days. i play a "hybred" set with a childress chanter and bag, bellows and droans which i made. they play very well and i learned a lot about droan reeds and making droans sound as you want them to.
i have also built a set of B droans which are eagerly awaiting a new chanter that should arrive in early october.
sure i'd love to have a full set by by one of the fine makers but "abstract poverty" and the need to tinker will probably keep me on this path. i do keep my eyes open in all the pawn shops.
i may order a regulator for next year.
best to all on the list, tansy
