Oh baby, I missed you!!

Oh geez! I remember her too. She really is quite sweet. You can tell she’s doing exactly what her husband is telling her to do. :laughing:

That’s an insult to all who Seriously plays the UP’s…

“…Uilleann Irish Style Union Bagpipes…”

As opposed to which other style? :wink:

It’s the new thing in piping technique. You guys are just living in the past.
Come on get with it. :wink:

That’s right. Why, even Mr. D. M. Quinn is ‘down wid it’. :laughing:

Say, is that lass wearin’ Simon Cowell’s trousers :laughing: :smiley: :laughing:

Are these Pakastani pipes or they from a reputable maker?

The set the little old lady is holding is Pakistani made. The set David Quinn is holding is of his own and Benedict Koehler make.

“REC IPSI LOQUITOR”~ the thing speaks for itself~ :wink:

freaaakkkyyyyy

almost the same creepy feeling I got other night at wally world, when I
saw a…

FURBY!!!


ack!!!

Do any of you play any UPs components made in Pakastan?

NO!

Ahhh Patrick too harsh :smiley:

YES, Few play Pakistan Drones, and rebuilt sets by Tim Britton… Thats about it I think

Hi KDMARTINKY

I have pakistani chanters, in fact the D chanter I use most is pakistani (with a CJ Dixon headpiece). Uillium took under 10 mins to rebuild the plastic reed that came with it and now it plays in tune with itself in D with no rushes tape etc.
If you look in clips and snips for JES’s Give Me Your Hand clip, it is a similar chanter to the one playing that clip.

The more experienced forum members seem to have a downer on Pakistani gear, I can only go with my experience and that is that the chanters are nice but let down by the reeds supplied with them.

I’ve got my lucky Ganesh full-set but without chanter. I have and Angus chanter. The regs are junk (though I keep trying to tune them) but the drones aren’t bad. And for a new player it is a good way to get drones on the cheap.

Anyway, any day now I get my new halfset and then I’ll be happy.

Woo Hoo! :party:

Someday soon I hope to be sharing your joy with my new drones and regs.

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that if I want regs (and a new non-leaky bag, and a new stock - hollow - ,and …) that I’m just going to have to make them myself.

Soon as I hand this Masters Thesis in end of Otober, I’m off to spend time with two of my pipemaker friends whose brains I intend to tax to the max over the next few years

Cheers,

I wish you success with your thesis and with your pipemaking endeavors.
