I “finally” got on this forum. Just saying hi. Thank god for an Uilleann pipe forum. I own a half set (lefty) from several different pipe makers: the chanter (D) is made by Seth Gallagher, the drones are made by Nick Whitmer (I like his style of drones–they are different from most others – very compact and sounding great. The bellows and bag are from Bill Thomas. Seth Gallagher’s chanter sounds and plays excellent. I just got the chanter this past summer and I’m having no problems yet…knock wood.
Welcome Behan. Say, any relation to the famous playwrite who once made the comment “I’ll do my best” after seeing a billboard advertising ginger ale with the slogan “Drink Canada Dry”.
I would love to post a few pics of my pipes however, I’m not too sure just how to post them on this forum. I’m working on a website so when that is done, I’ll add the link.
There’s a few of us around, mostly hidden in the woodwork. Look forward to viewing your site when it’s up. You can link directly to any photos on your website by using the website address, but instead of having .com or whatever at the end, finish with the photo file name, ie
http://www.------.com/photoname.jpg
and then highlight it and click on ‘Img’ at the top of the message box.
