Whoa...that kid is awesome. Gaelic Storm was in Madison on Sunday and at the bar after their concert I was talking to Peter Purvis who started when we was 12 and is now a Grade I. I wonder what grade this kid is at?
I am not yet on the Pipes, but my tutor got wind of an excellent set of Shepherd S-2 up for sale by a piper in the area. I went to that bands practice to see the pipes and acquire them. For my 58th birthday I got a set of pipes, that were demonstrated by a Grade 2 piper that was celebrating his 16th birthday. The two of us had a great bit of fun with the day, and I learned a lot more about piping at the same time. I now will now be rehemping some of the sections, and changing the blowpipe protector. Everything else is in perfect condition. I took the pipes to my tutor, and showed him what was shown to me for work. He has them and will evaluate them further. We have made a shopping list of supplies, including a case, that I should have to go with the pipes.
