once, in a reedmaking workshop Alain Froment played the chanter like an oboe to check the reed tuning with an electronic tuner.
Of course that was perfectly in tune...

I would like to add that, confirming Mr. O'hare's good intentions, he informed me that he will send a new chanter as a gesture of goodwill to conclude in the best way these unfortunate circumstances.

...and sometimes those stories come to an end. I have been contacted very quickly by Mr. O'Hare and apparently there has been a misunderstand. My thought of a steal has been confirmed altough NOT from Mr O'hare but from the postal service. My chanter is lost somewhere between Ireland and Italy. Ther...

ps. nice quote...

Hi everybody Although I doubt that after 8 years something will happen and although I know I should have contacted you many years ago there are moments in life when old bad stories that you believed disappered come up again and every time they hurt a lot. 2000, springtime. I'had been palying for a y...

Actually I'm not sure but I think he is... Last march in Rome, Tiarnán Ó Duinnchin gave me his contacts being asked who made his chanter and if it would have been possible to order one from Mr Curran.

Anyway he surely made some set in the past, any pictures of them??

Hi guys,
any picture of a Curran full set??
thanks in advance.

ps. I did search but found nothing... or so it seems..

I heard that with a special cross fingering, a great reed and a bit of tecnique you can reach the 3rd octave up to G3. Is that true? Does anyone know anything about that?
Maybe G. Woff wrote an article about it time ago...

HAPPY 2006 TO EVERYONE ON THE FORUM!!

I think that creating a thread espetially for newbs would be a great idea... That will be : frequently asked questions on uillean pipes... so sth like FAQ-U

thank god then! I'm definately interested in Woof's pipes! I'll check every day ebayor NPU site or Patrick's site...... cross my fingers....
