But that seemed to do the trick!..when are you in Chicago next?
Hi Jim,
No plans to be out that way until the middle of next year probably. I’ll keep you posted.
Patrick.
The pipes arrived last wednesday…they are aesthecally beyond expectation. The chanter is fully keyed with a stop key,something that wasnt mentioned. It fired right up in tune …quiet in the first but real sweet on the second octave. The drones and regs all play and I have hours of work and learning to do. I think I stumbled onto something real nice …thanks for the input..I’ll let ya’ll know when the whole lot is up and running.
Looking forward to a audio clip at some point in the not too distant future. 
Next Sunday AD?
Glad to hear the set is a-happenin’. What were you playing before?
Well done!
I have a Preshaw halfset in C …The drones on this set have the most beautiful buzz I have heard to date…The Angus drones are coughing at me right now the only one working is the baritone…I have spent some three hours on the bass and tenor with limited success. This I am certain is a reed issue only. I have the NPU dvd and have some guidance here with only a need for time.
.I will be selling the Preshaw halfset after I get the Angus fullset going. I am only at the game for three years now so the regs are mostly for show and single hand play …I have a fullset Gallagher in D so regs are not new to me…just cant get ergonomically and musically comfortable yet…still working the chanter. I will be taking my sweet time with the Angus set and am confident it will payoff…Got go surfing for now Hurricane Epsi something in the atlantic.
