Anybody of u playing it? Comments.
heard one from Thomas (himself playing it)
…amongst the very few best (concert chanters) i’ve ever heard…
period!
ps. I feel he’s one the most gifted instrument makers (both flute and pipe) alive today.
Does he have web site or any kind of presence on the web, to take a look at his work?
upon last him and I spoke;
…he is not selling chanters…only flutes.
hmm… sometime ago he said that his UP chanter models /sounds vs pitch now under serious developements,and perhaps… something in the future, but his main thing are now in flutes.
I visited him in his workshops few months ago and the chanter he played looked and sounded awesome.
He told me that he will bring up a new website and some surprises concerning uilleann chanters soon.
Here’s a photo of one that sold back at the end of 2006:

Superb. An elegant design well proportioned.
Thomas is a great player, w/ superb ears, and again…sorry to beat this one again, …he’s a genius craftsman.
There are (at least) three “pipe makers” on this video

One of them is T.Aebi.
When Tom was Andreas Rogge´s apprentice and a short time later he made a few chanters but not now any more. Flutes only.

Wise man? Discuss.
I play a chanter from Tom, wich he lent me. I am very pleased with it although I can’t compare it to chanters from other makers because I have never played anything else. I like the rich, full tone I can get from it… and it looks just 
I never played a chanter made by Tom, but I heard him playing his own set of pipes a few times now and they sound and he plays them lovely. There are not many chanter made by him around, but every single owner loves them. My main instrument is one of his flutes and I still have to find a better Pratten. I even prefer it over an Olwell.
I just had a double lesson of piping with Tom Aebi and I can tell you that he’s a totally likable and friendly guy. And he knows more about the pipes and their characteristics and the famous piper’s style of playing than I have ever expected.
He told me the most important things about the piping and advised me to play from now on with the Rowesome-Style fingering. Two fingers per notes. Makes totally sense to me.
Now I know why its so incredibly important to have a meeting with an experianced player at the beginning of one’s piping career.
PS. He’s own made Set was simply amazing! I hope I can get a chanter of that man.
I had contacted Tom a while ago concerning his chanters and he said that there would be new information regarding chanter this spring, which is just around the corner now. He does seem very nice from my limited contact.
He said that he wanted to reduce the amount of projects he had, and come up with a new price list.
He also said that he had a new design for his chanters. Here is a quote from what he sent me. I hope he does not mind my placing this information here.
“Now I am playing a new design which I am very proud of. Kind of a Rowsome large hole idea but with a more Kennedy like bore for better tuning and brightness.”
Thank you Douglas for your infos.
Actually the chanter he played today on his set will be the chanter that he’s going to make and sell.
And I can say (altough as a beginner…) that the chanter looks great, sounds marvellous and is as fine in tune as possible (I saw it on a tuner).
Its by the way a quite loud chanter.
I’m waiting for further infos of Tom 
Got sometime ago some soundsample about his new modell…sounded really good.
i just tried to contact tom. and got the email bounced. what is his current contact info?
