Ok, I just spotted a gizmo on ebay (oh no!) Called The GutBuster reed softener. Anybody heard anything about it? Tried it? Or is this just another chasing the...
I've never heard of it. I googled it and came up with nothing. The best thing I've heard of and will always use is my Piper's Pal Reed Protector made by...
It looks like something I was thinking of building... It appears to have a quick change pneumatic hose fitting on it so unless you has a compressor that would...
... Offhand I would repeat the old platitudes about there being no short-cuts to success and no such thing as a free lunch -- I probably said the same thing...
Learning to manipulate my chanter reed has been the best thing I'm doing for myself as a piper. I don't know how to do everything yet (I let my P/M do the...
You are smart for doing that. I learned early on how tune both the chanter and the drones. Learning how to tame a reed is important as well. You will ruin a...
Thank you for all your response. In the end, I weighed the claims of seller versus the feedback of seller as a seller (got all that?) and found it lacking. But...
That's funny. We have Seamus' cicadas, Noreen's bats, and my hummingbirds reacting to our playing. Anybody else? Speaking of animals, I don't know how our Pipe...
On Thursday 12 November 2009, my mailbox was graced by a missive ... My two dogs starts singing whenever I play. Cheers, Ron. -- Gestern noch auf stolzen...

We were in Scotland this summer, and my husband was practicing his pipes in a pasture. The cows all started inching closer and closer to him, until they were...
I'm enjoying the posts about the varied animal reactions to bagpipes, and can personally vouch for the extreme interest of dairy cows! Our neighbor's yearling...
Hi! I'm new to the group & sort of new to piping. My husband learned to play 'way back in high school (30+ years ago). I picked up his PC a few times & his...
Hi Sandy. Welcome! It will be fun for both you and your husband to be involved with piping together. May you both have many good years of "scaring the skunks."...
Welcome! I am also 1/2 of a newbie husband/wife piping couple. Hubby has wanted to learn for a few years but didn't have the time until last year. I started...

Looks like you have found a way to make the other cars move out of your way in traffic. Just figure out how to drive with no hands. LOL -- Duchess ... From:...
Listening to CD's in my old Mustang GT was interesting.... The exhaust would be in tune with the Drones at 62 mph. I remember the first time I noticed it I was...
The neighbors tell me when tuning the drones I sound just like the car alarms that frequently go off in the area. In fact, my playing has probably set some...
I went completely blank when a friend asked, can anyone advise the pipe tune played in the movie Waterloo when the highland battalion advances? Rich...
