    Re: Pipers What d'ya blow and why?

    I have a set of Dunbar P3's, with an L&M Bag, Crozier carbon fiber drone reeds. I also have a set of ABW Kintails, chalice top, with Crozier cane drone reeds. I initially bought the Dunbars with an eye toward durability (we camp a lot, and have 11 grandkids). I bought the Kintails to use at reenactments, and because I got them at a good price. They're good pipes, but I tend to play the Dunbars more.
    I also have a couple of sets of smallpipes, and a fagerstrom techno-pipe, but those are different animals entirely.
    All skill and effort is to no avail when an angel pees down your drones.

    Naill 3a sticks and blackwood soloist chanter. Bannatyne zipper gore-tex/hide bag. Selbie drone reeds. Tone enhancers in the stocks.

    I really like the tone and reliability of this set-up. When the weather's bad or I expect rough handling I switch to a plastic chanter.
