This might be a non-starter from the beginning due to copyright infringements but if it weren,t would people be interested in a recordings swap club ? I would put a list of my recordings under the heading swap club and anyone interested could contact me on PM if they wanted any particular tracks or tunes in return for some I might want. This is probably possible to send recording over e-mail but my set up is very low-tech so I,m talking about sending recording on cassette by snail mail
This whole idea if not possible of recordings could apply to any pipe related items
There are many music swap clubs of the type you are suggesting. They have been sued out of existence, e.g. Napster. You are correct regarding copyright infringements. Even if it is a bootleg copy you recorded yourself at a concert, you could get sued for offering it over the net. You might want to do this via email only to keep it off the boards (and under the radar).
I though As much regarding the recordings but how about other stuff
I have a hobgoblin recycled plastic, holes in the wrong place piece of crap that saint arondo donax couldn,t reed on his best day,to swap ,will accept a super wooff B set in ebony with sterling silver and mammoth ivory mounts
Any takers contact me via PM

benwalker,
Lucky for you I have not one, not two, but three Cillian O’Briain sets and ooh how I’ve been longing for one of those (hot) pink water bottle bellows. (Ya know they can can be used for more than just bellows. ) Keep ye warm on a cold night, they will. Wink.Wink.Nudge.Nudge.

It’s a Late 70’s-Early 80’s set of scottish smallpipes in A by Jimmy Anderson. The only problem is I haven’t been able to get the chanter to play satisfactorily and I’m sick of sinking money into them. Ted A. from SF tried to reed them for me. The drones came out quite nice with the cane reeds but the chanter didn’t fare so well. I think that either a) the chanter was crap to begin with. The SSP’s were invented in the 70’s so it’s possible J. Anderson didn’t have it down yet. Or b) the wood has shrunk or expanded or something after being stored a long time (the previous owner didn’t play them). If I was to make this set playable for myself, I would get a modern maker to make a new chanter for it. The only reed that ever sounded good and was easy to play in this chanter was the one it came with which was by Heriot and Allan. But it’s not worth the cost to me to send it to Northumbria to be reeded.
The bellows is by Howard that I purchased for I think $150-$200 . I’d trade the whole lot for… hmm, I don’t know, maybe a chanter, a flute, or a low whistle, or an Irish resident visa. Hell, I might trade it for a really good tin whistle. I’ll trade the bellows seperately for a velvet Elvis painting or a dime bag of ganja.

A neighbour of mine,s daughter is looking for a husband .She,s not fussy as long as you wear trousers
send me the pipes and I,ll arrange the wedding
Hey, I’m an uilleann piper, which means that not only do I wear trousers, but I’m rakishly handsome, debonair, and I’m packing the kind of tackle one would normally expect to see swinging between the legs of a Grand National winner.
Ohhh… so we’re just swapping musical instruments, eh? Darn, I thought the swinging 70’s had returned. I was gonna trade my narrow bore chanter for a redhead, as long as she could make good reeds for my other chanters.
