You've to watch out for that Greenwood whimsy. Last time I was in the shop I walked out with this attached to my bellows:

can't complain, it does keep the strap in.

While I'm posting pictures. Here's my Gallagher B:

and my Angus narrow-bore D:

I'll be selling this when my Boisvert fullset arrives.

This arrived yesterday. It is a Kennedy B chanter in ebony and boxwood. The mounts and windway were turned by David Boisvert, and what a tremedous job he did! These photos really do not do it justice. The reed, of course, is by me

. This is a very handsome stick.

I'll eventually get around to recording a few MP3's with it in the near future.

I am very pleased to have joined club "B".

And like you misterpatrick, I am awaiting my full set (a sister set to you) any month now (

to Davykins

). What did we call these twins? I forgot... getting older, you see..

The Sisters of Mercy. To compliment (and battle) the Holy Order of course.

The Kennedy looks nice. B is da bidnis.

Sorry, that's already taken

You see the name "Holy Order" is just an abbreviation of the set's complete moniker - "Mother Superior and The Sisters of Mercy known collectively as the Holy Order".

Sorry

Patrick.

Aghhh! OK, the polls are open. What do Joseph and I call our almost matching sets?

C'mon people, this is important!

I swear these are from my old Gallagher B ½ set. No other SG bellows has a nice elbow pad quite like that.

They are Lorenzo. As you can see they have been further modified and improved. The B set has found a happy new home.

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.

Here they are:

That's a nice chantertop - the colour of the wood is beautiful.
