Hello i have same pipes in d and troubles with d chanter/ Where did u get a new reed?

[Shakez76]

I emailed you a direct link. Let me know if you have any issues and Ill help as much as I can :)

Your chanter sounds fine. You may need to adjust your bridles if your still having problems. Ill post a video soon :)

I have tried 4 sets of the D's and about 6 sets of Walsh in general. For a few days, they work and sound great, but they are way too susceptible to moisture, so unless you can invent a moisture and heat control system, you will have to play 3 or 4 tunes, and them open them and dry the reeds. I suggest a $2,000 professionally made set, sure they are very costly, but you'll get a lot more use out of them

I believe your tuning-method is perfectly legitimate, since there's actual (but a bit siily) products made for this:]

Hello, LOL

Just would like to say

after seeing yor display

I think I will probably buy

a set of Walsh small pipes.

They sound realy nice!

Just a tip; Jim Mcgillivery has a web site that offers Tutoral materials.

His sight also alows you to

down load BP tunes & sheet music.

Best of piping!

Hello,LOL

I have been debating on buying a set of Walsh pipes

now I am sold!!!

LOL :)

I have been playing the GHP for a while, and even bought a set of fire side pipes from a well known

pipe maker and got rid of the firesides shortly. They just did'nt sound so good.

But after seeing your display, I am defanetly

buying a set of fixing to buy a set.
