Hello all

Here is an update on the Reed making book which is due to be launched at the Leo Rowsome Commemorative event on the 23rd February 2013 in Ná Piobairí Uilleann, Dublin

“A Guide to Reed making for the Uilleann Pipes”
by Patrick O’ Hare

A guide to reed making for the uilleann pipes is a new publication on the art of reed making by professional reed maker Patrick O’ Hare.
Patrick was taught the art of reed making by Dave Hegarty, Francie Mc Peake III and Brian Howard. After many years studying and practicing the art of reed making Patrick is now considered to be one of the fore most experts on reed making today. His reeds are played by a host of top performers such as John Mc Sherry, Sylvain Barou and Blackie O’ Connell.
He has taught reed making extensively at numerous tionals and reed making workshops and is a regular teacher at the Pipecraft centre in Dublin. Some of Patricks former reed making students are now considered to be expert reed makers themselves. This new book on the subject is the result of many years hard work studying the craft of reed making and developing a method of reed making which will help to take away the fear that many pipers have when it comes to the dark art.
The book is in A4 format with over 60 high quality full colour photographs, on high quality gloss paper, detailing each of the reed making stages in a clear and concise fashion.

If anyone wishes to pre-order a copy of the book please feel free to contact me at : reedmakingfortheuilleannpipes@hotmail.co.uk

Many thanks
