Welcome from another of the attendees at the last Celtic Classic in your town (I'm in the saffron kilt in the Rabble pic). You have a very beautiful town, and the Classic was a very impressive and well-organized event. A great experience for me.
Welcome! I live not far from you in NJ...also a piper, but in the early stages (only playing 2 years). If you get a chance, I'd love to see a picture of the Lawrie pipes. Regards - Tom

Here ya go Tom:
1/2-Mounts are nickel and ends are very 'weathered' ivory. Comb and beading is a fine cut and the finish, considering their age, is fantastic. The Nickel obviously needs a polish...which I think I'll be doing Saturday...
I'm currently using Sheppard reeds in my Sheppard chanter. My Naill cracked during transport at the last competition (Hunter Mountain in NY) many years ago and I got the Sheppard as a [cheaper] replacement for the day. I liked it so much, I never replaced the Naill...
I'm also using Long Eezedrone Reeds found HERE and man...they are soooooooo sweet and mellow. I won them on a raffle (along with a bottle of Single Malt WOOHOO!!) and tried them. It was a bit of a challenge to get them tuned and took a few days straight of playing but they finally settled in. It took almost a week but I was determined not to be outwitted by Tupperware...lol.
