Hello!!
I’m now going to make a final decision for my full set order, BC Childress or Andreas Rogge.
In the Rogge catalouge he shows two types of regulator key work.Pin-mounted and block-mouted.How does it differs?Playability,durability etc.
Thank you for reading
Innerhand,
do you still have a O’Grady half set?
Hello Tony
Yes,I own O’Grady’s half set.I’m quite sutisfied with the set.It was the first half set I owned.Easy to play,well in tune.This was the first set I owned,so I have never had difficult problems often disscused in this message bord.
I can’t hear,touch even see a full set of pipes here in Japan(ofcourse I think 10or20sets exists),so the only informatoin that I can refer to is reputations spoken in this kind of message bord or mailing lists.
I want to know how O’Garady’s regs works,but can’t have information about his works.
It’s some kind of gamble to order such instuments over $3000 and a waiting period more than 2 years.
Thanks!!
I play a Rogge set with pin-mounted regs. I cannot say much about a comparison. I’d say block-mounted regs are bolder, heavier and over time the keys might get stuck (which can usually be remedied easily). The pin-mounts haven’t given me any trouble yet, from time to time you have to readjust the screws that hold the keys in their place. I feel fine with mine.
