Heya :)

[mcfinnigan]

Thanks for the welcome, guys

I'm just starting the chanter, and my son, 11, is about to get his first set of pipes.

First thing I'll suggest is a pair of workshop ear-protectors. You have NO idea how much your ears will ring after 30 minutes on the pipes ;)

Sure, I'm old for it, but I can't wait to be able to actually play something worth listening to.

You're never too old to learn to pipe, and it's a great way to build lung capacity.

By the way, which piper are you in the photo?
