Talk about jonesing

[Scotty Da Q]

Not the kilt kind.
I ordered my first set of pipes on Saturday. McCallum AB2 Deluxe. They called on Sunday and said everything was in stock and they would go out Monday! I got a tracking email today and they are scheduled to be delivered ...this Thursday. Woo hoo !

Congrats! Those are excellent pipes. What drone reeds are coming with them out of curiousity?

Congratulations!
I am sooooo far away from ordering pipes. May they be of great harmony for you.

Thanks
I chose Canning. Heard some, and they sound awesome!

Great choice. Cannings, especially the bass, sound great in McCallums. The tenors are a lil finicky but I'm sure you'll get 'em up and going.

Bagpipe Porn anyone? Just thought I'd show off some pics of them ... cuz they just....look sweet!

Question... Does the tie on the bass drone look off to you? To me it seems the there's too much slack from the middle to the top.

You were right cajuncelt, the middle tenor is a little rumbly before coming to full pressure, that should be a bridle adjustment ...down Yes?

Congrats on the (short term) jonesing!
