Thread Name: Bagpipes a Threat to the Environment
Subject: RE: Bagpipes a Threat to the Environment
I didn't know there were actually that many bagpipes still being made. ;-)

But I know that Brazilian rosewood, once used decades ago on wonderfully resonant Martin D28's, was banned from being harvested for the instrument, and I'm not sure those guitars ever sounded quite so fine again.

However, I am an environmentalist and a tree hugger, and would happily forsake harvesting those trees even for fine instruments.
