Since all my photos disappeared when I shut down my Photobucket account, I thought I would do a post that actually has photos!
Here's the set I played for a number of years, probably pre-1908 R G Lawrie, ebony, ivory, and German Silver.
When President Obama signed an Executive Order making the possession of ivory illegal in the United States, and not wanting to walk around in public with pipes which were subject to seizure by the Department of Fish and Game at any time, I moved on from that set and got two no-ivory sets.
This set is by Starck, London, and came with a chanter stamped 1945.
I also got this set, said to be by R G Lawrie Glasgow made in the 1940s. This set is a superb player. Many Highland pipers hate old Catalin-mounted sets, but I like the old-school look.
Both sets in their pretty new clothes
