Could use a little tweaking on that reed

I submit that the last time this instrument was played, was just prior to that reeds demise. :laughing:

I remember the maker way back in 1975 or so. Lark in the Morning had advertised his pipes. I think he made full sets at one point. I might have an ad somewhere in the files. I think he was located in Washington state.

Perhaps Sean could enlighten us

Fel…you have files with stuff in 'em from the 70’s???

Well, its crystal clear now… you should’ve been the one to marry MY wife! :laughing:

Ron is still located on Bainbridge Island, WA:

I kept all my piping stuff from the 70s! Even letters to a certain Patrick Sky- who I finally met at the SF tionol; not to mention Denis Brooks’ invocationto practice

There’s nothing wrong with that reed! Rushing!!! the chanter needs rushing!! Just place a wire bridle on that reed and it will sing.
