Rabble, I am always pleased with the amount of unexpected info I learn from the posts.

A little digging into "Irn Brw" and I now understand it's flavor comes from both caffeine and quinine. The distributor here in the U.S. is in North Carolina, so maybe I'll get my hands around a bottle soon.

Pipe tuning by sight is a skill I hope to better understand. Apparently the bass drone sections need be pulled in more or less opposing directions ? While the tenor drone in the middle requires something more ?

What is distinctive about the chanter that identifies it as belonging to a later period ?

Thanks all.
