[John McCain]

It would be great if we could rent a set of pipes for a short time instead of making a "blind" purchase. For instance, I'm interested in the new McCallum produced MacRae copy, but likely won't buy a set unheard/unplayed.

There are lots of smaller makers this may benefit like the Kyo drones mentioned in this thread.

This is probably an unworkable idea, but it would be helpful to serial, easily tempted buyers.
