Just got back from the UK yesterday and visited Simon Hope. Had bellows, a new dual bag and cover and new drone and chanter reeds fitted with a drying system. Now they sound great.

I meant to add that the only drone playing is the tenor, the other two drones have slightly bent reeds. I have been learning the GHB for 4years, very slow progress, maybe I should give up learnng altogther
Keep going! you need regular practice on the practice chanter and lessons and support from other pipers if you are playing the highland pipes, It requires constant physical practice, I am playing a one droned "practice smallpipe" myself these days to keep my piping going myself.
try to keep the pressure on the bag at a constant, i play northumbrian pipes and its the same with them, got to keep the pressure constant.
