Well, for 2/4 I'm going a little over 60bpm, but probably will up that slightly. Pros seem to be about 70bpm. Aim to keep your technique clean, but not...

I think you are right about that too

I once had a stonkingly big cane bass reed that came out of an old box of Lawries and I used it...

Not liking it myself......

Nice pipes and nice story! Similar experience myself on an equivalent looking c1930 Henderson set. I had to get bass bottom section pin replaced from...

Lots of threads on bores. Reality is most modern pipe makers are adapting their bores to modern pitch and plastic drone reeds. Old style bottom sections...

ABW Shepherd is a great chanter. Easy to reed and use. The solo style chanters maybe take a bit more setting up and warming up. Depends what you're looking...

Sounds fun. I think it was a Shepherd I eventually got going in a similar chanter of mine. You may find the chanter throat has closed up a bit, throwing...

I've only used Gannaway bags. I tried their grommet bag with zipper when the PM wanted MCS, but back to tie-in now. Find it easier, fits nice under the...
