Yes, drone matching tables aren't as plentiful as they once were.

Looks lovely there Mark. As a man with a Boisvert C set on order, I've got one question and one request: 1. what are the mounts made? and 2. will you post a sound sample?

qwertymarka · Post by **qwertymarka** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 2:31 pm

the mounts are antler. it's a beautiful combination. especially in person.

the sound sample might be asking a bit. for a number of reasons, while i've had the chanter for a long time, i am only just now able to start learning to play it in earnest.

Nice chanter Mark. I also have a C chanter from David Boisvert (Greenwood Pipes). Mine sounds really nice. David did a great job.

I never posted pictures of mine. Maybe I will do that. It is rosewood and boxwood.

Mark are you on a military base? Looks like it from the picks.

hi douglas. you should post pics of your chanter. it sounds lovely.

the pics i took were taken on my apartment's balcony. so nope, no military base.

When you're ready to post a few clips, you can do so on the other forum. Here's the link.

hi pj. i'll probably *eventually* post on that particular topic.

i like that forum. i check in on it fairly regularly and have spent many a night irritating my wife by staying up til 4am reading past issues of the piper's review.

when i was waiting for the previously shown chanter to arrive, i amused myself thusly:

i think i spent three minutes drawing that because someone posted a pic that they made in solidworks or some other 3D CAD program... and i wanted to make my own "3D rendering"....

yeah i'm pretty much a dork....

My Whitmer drones and regulators. The baritone reg was received last February and I picked up the tenor reg last weekend at the Pipers' Gathering in Vermont.

The craftsmanship is first rate. I only hope my piping will one day do it justice. Once again, thank you, Nick Whitmer.

There are photos of a particular set that I'd like to see David, how about sharing some? That would be a happy thing, I need some happy right now.

I was surprised and laughing to find this alternative windway cap and swan neck in the box with my new B chanter.

I'll have to post some pics with it on the chanter.
