Comments on: My Pipes http://keydetpiper.com A thoughtful look at the world of bagpipes and bagpipe competitions from the outskirts of Washington, DC Mon, 13 Feb 2012 04:41:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Nathan http://keydetpiper.com/my-pipes/#comment-475 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 00:43:45 +0000 http://keydetpiper.wordpress.com/?page_id=38#comment-475 It’s neat to hear of your encounters with my pipes. I took a few weeks to get them playable, and they have been great. They have been one of the best purchases of my piping career.

In regards to the orange caps, I’ve read about removing the patina, but they’ll turn orange again within a few years.

I brought them back to life after sitting many years in a case in his garage. I was also teaching his grandson on the chanter. The grandson was going through the motions of learning to please his grandfather, but otherwise was uninterested. Needless to say, I lost interest in teaching him. I was teaching him to please Mr. Lucas, my friend, and the boy’s father of whom I’ve lost track. I thought of buying those pipes, myself, but didn’t have the money.~Dave O
