Following a very successful Irish music retreat near Dallas this past weekend I felt compelled to pass on, for the benefit of interested newcomers, a short critique of the work of Pat Sky. My “budget” chanter from Patrick arrived Tuesday prior to the weekend. No gleaming ivory, no “shiny” brass keys, just plain well-crafted wood with a reed the combination of which offered phenominal ease of playing and high quality tone. The chanter was easy to control, lightweight, and responded in an unbelievable fashion. It allowed me, a “newbie”, the luxurious opportunity in a “fair fashion” to play along with experienced UP pipers as well as receive 8 hrs of very small-group instruction from the talented and masterful Jerry O’Sullivan. I cannot say enough about the impeccable quality of Pat Sky’s work except “WELL DONE” and “THANKS”!!
Sincerely, “Anasazi Piper”
