    Post a link or a picture when you get them. I know the feeling I just got my McCallum AB2s yesterday, but I don't have a chanter reed yet. O'Neille

    O'Nielle, we should meet up in a year and have a piping contest!

    Oh, and by the way, you'll love those McCallums. I have McCallums and they sound great. What reed are you ordering?

    You're my hero in many ways (youth, smart, handsome, active piper, foreign studies . . . shall I go on?), and I love to hear the uilleann played.

    We'll be awaiting a sight of the rascal once it's in.

    I'll be interested to see pics and to hear how you get on. There seems to be quite an interest on piping on this board now. Maybe I shall restart on the pipes some day.

    You're on! If we ever meet up it's deulling bagpipes time. Warning. I'm more into Irish tunes and modern rock stuff. I Ordered some Ross reeds from California. I have an unknown reed I found in my old case and It is just this side of unuseable (it's about 15 years old). I was impressed with the easy drones and drone regulators right away comparred to the last time I played. O'Neille
