Just got my new chanter from Germany which Jens sent on Thursday 15 January 2004
The lefthanded D plumwood chanter brass boxwood with 4 keys C Bb G# F has arrived at about after 1.30 pm (GB time).
I will play the chanter later and let you know soon how it sounds.
Regards
I have now played my new plumwood D chanter and sounds great.
The tuning was flat and to loud but very easy to play even the Hard D was easy to get and no over blowing to get high octave when I tried the chanter first.
To get the chanter in tune and not to loud I had to move the wire bridle of the reed down a wee bit. Also moved the reed in the throat of the chanter in until I got the chanter in tune with the A 440 on the tuner.
I tried the D reed from the ebony chanter in the D plumwood chanter but it played flat, as I am selling ebony chanter I didn’t what to touch that reed as it works better in the ebony chanter .
All the best
Aw, shucks you beat me to it, Fergus. I’m still waiting for my Rogge ebony/boxwood stick to show up. Then again, You’re a bit closer to Germany than I am…
Better get here soon though. The anticipation is killing me…Okay, maybe not killing me, but definitely slapping me around a bit.
Today I emailed Patrick D’Arcy to update my piper bios on this web page. Patrick said he was also getting a Andreas Rogge D Plumwood chanter like my chanter but only his will be right handed.
I would recommend Andreas Rogge D plumwood chanter to anyone as this is the first D chanter that has on given me any problems
Bye for now
Congratulations Fergus. Sounds like you’re really loving the new chanter. I can’t wait to get my Rogge set. I guess they’re not quite done yet but every morning I bet my receptionist as to whether or not there is the telltale email waiting for me. 
Good piping to ye.
