01 Dec 05 - 03:53 AM (#1617869) Subject: I've got new bagpipes!!! From: Paul Burke Hummelchen by Sean Jones of Biddulph, Staffordshire UK. Simple, mouth blown, one drone, one octave, light to play, small stretch, a sound like rather shy Northumbrian pipes. It's hard to stop playing them, I got told off because the dinner was late last night. Got to learn a lot of early music stuff now to fit them. |

Actually, I love the sound of bagpipes, and your endearing description of these Hummelchen as 'shy Northumbrian pipes' was beautifully put. Congratulations on your new accquisition, and don't forget to eat/cook in your communal bliss... |

It's a great feeling when you get a new set of pipes and they smell new and feel new and you'll be one to break them in. I think I can imagine their sound from your description. I'd love to hear them. Have fun, D |
