Hello Jim, My name is Noel J. Costilow and I ordered a set of the J. Dunbar P1 pipes with a Megarty-Ross chanter reed and Eze-Drone drone reeds and I am...
Dick, thanks for your ideas. Your right, it would be great if we'd all share tunes together. If we copied the score into, for example Word and then saved...
Jim, I have, as you may have seen in recent emails, just got back into piping after circa. 20 years, having stopped in late teens upon leaving the band to go...
Thanks for the encouragement Brian, Hardies have been recommended by my instructor as having pretty good sound, so I have been considering them from the...

Well holy mackerel....Marty's back! YAHOO! What a blessing to see our "ol' wantabe" back in the saddle. Like you, we've also been spammed by the "larger than...

I have fibromyalgia, so my hands are always painful, similar to tendenitis, but I've perservered since before I learnt to play years ago, for the first few...
You are just going through what we all had to go through. Learning to relax your hand. I won't go into some of the "advice" given as to how lightly to hold...
Thanks a bunch for the advice, I have not thought of doing that. I will try some oils and see if that eases the cramping. How long did it take you to be able...
James, That lavender oil sounds interesting. I agree, find a teacher! One thing my teacher did for me on tne finger placement was he would have me set the...

Brain, Rather than trying to post as an attachment, you might try posting the .bmp to photos or piob source to files. That seems to work for other piper...
Brothers and Sisters, It is so great to see the sudden burst of activity. I am heartened and feel blessed. It's also good to see our old friend returned. I...
Well, He's persistent if nothing else! I'll try and send the tune in the PiobMaster format. It's only a wee file that way. It appears from the help file that...
