    Congratulations, that was a really a great article. Well done! Did I read it correctly though? You only took up the chanter last SPRING? That IS impressive! When I read your posts about what you've been doing I assumed that you had been playing for much longer.

    That's exactly what I was thinking!

    Good on you for several reasons, then! I've had a chanter for lo on 3 years and still haven't figured it out...I am really impressed.

    Me too, Gregory, but you come from a musical family, which must help. I had one-to-one piping lessons (many years ago) but gave up after about six months because I could not get to grips with reading music!! Whilst I was growing up the only music I heard came from the radio or 78rpm records!!

    Well done!

    Ham, how very modern of you, I expected you to recall a gramaphone cylinder

    When I started pipes, I looked at them as just another instrument (right now, I play trombone, violin (poorly), guitar, bass, penny whistle, bodhran, dulcimer, harmonica, and mandolin). In other news: I just ordered a set of Uilleann pipes!!! And you all thought kilts were addicting....

    I'm still waiting for my piping course materials which are in sotck but have been held up because they have been linked in with other items such as a kilt.

    I have emailed the supplier and asked them to send the piping stuff now so I can get started!

    I want to be in my local paper too!
