Thanks Moof.
You have given me a place to start, something to look into.

Hi, do any of you guys use Vpipes and connect them to a 'studio' like Garageband? I connect to my Mac, immediately Garageband recognises that there's a midi device connected, but no signal gets received on the recording track. Is there some kind of driver I need to download, or some other way to rec...

A friend of mine spoke to Ramon in March and he said he wasn’t making at mo. I just checked Mr Castro's site. It still looks open for business. In fact he is using images of well respected players on there. Jarlath Henderson is the first face you see. If he is not making at the moment he should tak...

Thanks again make_fast.
I'm feeling the bug begin to bite on this.
My first step into the world of electronics and Midi - and it's about 40 years overdue.
I'll take your advice and get the Celtic Winds app and take it from there.

Thanks make_fast for the info.

Thanks BuskerSean for the update

Thanks lads for the help. Tom_S - thanks, but I think I have to agree with 'buskerSean'. There seems to be zero response these days from Mr Castro. I am curious about why his bank details are up online but there's no response to emails. I suppose I'll have to keep an eye out for a second-hand set. T...

Thanks Lozq, I like your idea of sending a (low) random sum and just sit back and wait for a set of pipes. But after my experiences with Santa and the Easter Bunny I would need convincing on Bank Buddy. I was just wondering if anyone had recently gone through the whole process - agreed a price, sent...

Hi, can any of you tell me where I might get a crash 'up to date' on VPipes? Are they still being made? Is there a manufacturer's outlet or an online seller etc? A young child is about to enter our household and I may soon need the headphones facility. I'd appreciate any information any of you can s...
