Hello Taborers We are planning the International Festival for 2006. Up until now we have been based in Gloucestershire, first in Gloucester and more recently...
Hi Poul, sorry for the lateness of my reply - I'm away quite a bit at the moment! the crane bone flutes I've come across are either from the ulna or the ...
I forgot to mention that the dates we are looking at for IPATF 2006 14 - 16 July 2006 The response to my mail (sorry if you received several copies I sent to...
Hi group. I'm a new member, and have not yet got my pipe. What are the wise words on buying one: make, materials, key? Is the makers and sources item up to...
Hello Richard I've been playing p & t for nearly 30 years, and I still play Susato myself most of the time, but no doubt some of the members of this group will...
... High D is the usual key, if you're looking for a good beginners whistle there is nothing wrong with the Generation 3-holed whistle which is about £5....
... I'm quite happy with the Susato pipes. I have others I'm even happier with, but the cost is a lot higher, too. The Generation in d is OK -- I still...
... Like Dennis Sherman, my favorite Susato pipe is in A; the Bb above works equally well but is in a key to make the fiddlers and accordions frown, the G...
Thank you, Richard, for generating some interesting (to me anyway) discussion about "which tabor pipe?" It's very useful to hear others' opinions of the few...
... I have one of those, too. I have no trouble hanging onto it in its original shape, but it is impossible to get my little finger around the end for the low...

In the course of my search for low Susato tabor pipes, I had occasion to say the same sort of things to Ralph Sweet as I said to this group: ",,, despite the...
... I've got a Generation D and a variety of Susato's. I can get my little finger around the end of the high D models, and can sometimes manage it on the C...
... My recent exchanges with George Kelischek included the following from him: "A new, richer sounding low -F- and -G- tabor-pipe with our -M- bore body will...
... That is good news. Assuming it is the same medium bore as the one I have, I wonder if they'll be able to tweak the pipe to make it easier to play. I'll...
... I've got a Sweet in G, which is a lot quieter than the Susato pipes, which makes it better for playing in a mixed group. As noted, it really isn't...
I have had two Sweets. A high "D", and a "G". I sold the "G" , not because it played poorly, but due to the difficulty in holding it without the ring at the...
Going back to the original question of this thread, which (if I remember correctly) was a quest for a decent inexpensive pipe, a point that was mentioned...

Thanks, good folks, for the generous advice. I have gone with a Susato D and, after ordering it, came up with the following rationale for a C pipe: The D pipe...
Great thread of discussion! Here's my two cents worth. I have a Generations high D pipe, a Ralph Sweet G, a Susato C galoubet, which I am still working on how...
One man's opinion here. You can't "lip-up" a pipe. An increase wind pressure may kick you up inot the next harmonic of that hole. My experience is a bit...
On the subject of 'doctoring' Susato pipes: I find giving the pipe a once-over with steel wool or very fine grit sandpaper helps to tone down the plasticy...
... I got frustrated with the Susato galoubet; I got a large one, in C perhaps like yours, and found it to be hard to shift to the upper registers. But the...
... I haven't actually tried this, but I had a thought a while ago that rubbing a Susato lengthwise with fine steel wool might remove the sheen and simulate a...

I just received my new wide-bore Series M tabor pipe in low G. (I have a Generation high D, a Susato high D, and a Susato narrow-bore low G, as well as a ...
Dear Helen Thank you for your answer. And now I might have a little surprise for you. I remember you, at your lecture in Sangüesa, telling that you had never...
I haven't posted in a long while, but wanted to share a picture of an English-style tabor pipe I just got. It was made by Mack Hoover, of Colorado (he also...
Hello! I need help in choosing a good tabor. I having been playing the pipe for a couple of months and have been using a drum practice pad. I have been looking...
The Early Music Exhibition is on in Greenwich, London in a few weeks time. There should be a few tabors there to try out. But it does depend on what you...
