Thanks OC Richard, I'm starting to find myself leaning the same way. I'm currently running one set of pipes with two chanters, one set up at 466Hz with a set of drone extenders & the other at about 480Hz to play with the band. Most of my solo gigs are completely solo, so it doesn't matter what pitch I'm playing at as long as I'm in tune with myself. I play only a handful of times a year with the band, but I seldom rehearse with them because they're two hours drive away. I also do a couple of gigs a year with a rock/folk style band that sometimes includes a couple of my children on violin, guitar & bass.

I have another set of pipes under the bed that haven't been played in many years. It might be time to resurrect them as my concert pitch set!

Cheers,
