I made a yogurt lid reed as an exercise in learning to make reeds. Obviously you don’t learn much about working with cane and scraping, but you can figure out staple tieing and other stuff. Anyway, my chanter sounded like a single octave saxophone. Very interesting.

I’ll put up photos and sound clips as soon as I get out of the clink. They’ve got me in the psych wing of the hospital (involuntarily admitted). I’m still wondering about this REEPICHEEP. How can a rat develop wings? And how the hell did it fly to the moon and walk around on it. I mean, it really ain’t nothing but a light.

Romanpiper,

Please refrain from attacks on other members of this board. I will not ask again.

Saxophone is just about the sound, or a plastic goose. hawak!

It was actually kind of cool. Very mellow and nothing like an uilleann chanter.
