I just had some work done on my pipes in anticipation of the upcoming summer.  Anyone else play anything?

Yeah it is, besides the 300 known species of fungus that live inside bagpipes. :)

I hear it's a tough job to keep it running.

Yeah, if you don't treat the bags they can get pretty nasty.   The new bags aren't nearly as bad as the old leather ones.

It isn't so hard to keep it going.   It's just practice, like anything else.

Funny looking bong. Quite good idea to let your friends have their own pipes :)

I don't have a plaid skirt.

I do have a half dozen kilts in 3 tartans.

Bagpipes are cool.  Something I'd like to get into someday.  

Any favorite songs, Martlet?

Just to name a few.

Hey Martlet, I play pipes (just about 3 years)...  

Shepard chanter, Canmor Goretex bag, I'll have to look at the drones...

I can only play for a minute or two before the stars start to jump around in my head.  Too much pressure required to play.  I'll have to learn more about the reeds.

I also play bluegrass banjo, (Gibson Mastertone with Scruggs tuners) and fool around on a classical guitar.
