"This little "how-to" book is Great!
I am a new piper and have been looking for help with the care
and feeding of my bagpipes. I've been playing a Chanter for three
years, a synthetic bag goose for two, but this is my first year
with Great Pipes, leather bags, and cane reeds. Due to job
schedule and location, I have only passing contact with other pipers
to glean their sage wisdom... YIKES!!!!! This little book has a
wealth of tips and tricks that are already paying dividends.
...who would have thought! It pays to know your equipment. Thanks
Again!" - Derrick Davis

realy good information. The info about rosewood pipes is especially
helpful.
The section on things to have in your travel kit is worth the price
of the book alone.

"I am new bagpiper, and this book has
come in so handy. I put it in my pipe case, and it is always
there when I travel. It's small, and compact, and ever so
handy. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking
to work on their pipes, and appreciates a smaller book so that you
can travel with it." - Jim Iammatteo
