"Now what about chanters?...Seriously, what's the general consensus on Walsh?" Can't speak to Walsh GHB chanters, as I've never played one (nice smallpipes,...

Hello again. Responding to your messge. Spoke to the two students today and they do not wish to put any more into these pipes. One has purchased another set...
... Yowza!!! Are these Paki-Blackwoods, or Rosewoods? The price is about right for Blackwoods. If they're Rosewood, then she WAY OVERPAID. A decent (by low-end...
$550.00? I look at "bagpipes"; on EBay every single day. Since the morning of Sept. 30th, there have been seventeen Paki's posted for sale, ranging in price...
They are Rosewood. I realize she got taken highly. She baught these in May/June. It wasn't two students, it was the same one who baught two sets at the same...
I have seen some paki pipes go for as much as $800 US. I'll try to find the site and post it... They are supposed to be blackwood pipes... but I don't know.. ...
Seriously, what's the general consensus on Walsh? HEY, don't be trashing me on the web! Seriously, I have a Kron Medalist chanter. It is one of the earlier...

... Yes. What I like is hemp substitute. It's heavily waxed & squishes down really nicely to fit the opening it's being inserted into... With Paki's it's good...
Hello All, Here's a question that's been puzzling me for a while now. And it's impossible to answer it without other Pipers around... I realize that my drones...
lolol...I have, on occasion, seen that rare person who can do it without bending their knees. The canister system is a moisture control device. I'm familiar...
