If it turns out to be the tie-in to the bag, there's a really handy video on how to do it on the Henderson Bagpipes web site.... http://www.hendersongroupltd.com/video_bp.asp?v=7. I'd also strongly recommend a video by Jim McGillivray called Pipes Ready which covers a lot of the basics maintenance stuff that'll drive you nuts .... http://www.hendersongroupltd.com/Car...idcategory=241
