    Nice photos. We currently are 59' with an 18 mph wind out of the North...oh, and driving rain. Perfect Kilt weather!!! (According to my wife!)

    Thank you for sharing the wonderful photos, Robert.

    We don't get a lot of snow in Texas, so it's always nice when somebody posts good snow photos.

    Take care, and hope you're feeling better!

    Thanks for sharing with us
    I was thinking the same thing. It all looks so very clean and rustic- not like here in Denver, where everything is fast, dirty and cheap. Looks like a little piece of heaven to me... Makes me want to go to the mountains and go camping! It's supposed to start snowing here in the elevations about 10,000 feet. Maybe I'll go camp on a 14'er next weekend. Those pics certainly put me in the mood to wake up with snow on the tent!

    Pardon me for being ignorant, but what do you mean by "14'er"?

    According to the (French) province in wich they are played, the very same instrument is called by different names:

    - cornemuse du Centre
    - musette du Centre
    - musette berrichonne
    - grande boubonnaise

    1 1/2 octave (overblowing); 1 shoulder drone + a small drone next to the chanter (on a common box shaped stock).

    Maybe you shoul open a "show us your pipes" thread with photos and all...


    Best,

    Robert
