19 Mar 06 - 03:09 PM (#1697973) Subject: RE: New pipes From: Shields Folk Colin Ross? chances are I'd be dead before he could of made them. I'm getting them from a bloke called Dave McQuade. But yes I'm in an excellent place from support. I spoke to an old friend two weeks ago, he told me he had always wanted to play the smallpipes. Anyway I told him of the NSP society and saw him yesterday and he has joined, gotten a loan set and had a free lesson from Colin Ross himself. |

20 Mar 06 - 02:30 AM (#1698340) Subject: RE: New pipes From: Little Robyn Well done. Colin is very helpful. Have you been to the bagpipe museum at Morpeth? And go to the NSP Soc meetings as well. I wish I could but I'm halfway around the world - in NZ! Cheers. Robyn |

20 Mar 06 - 07:17 PM (#1699102) Subject: RE: New pipes From: Tootler If you want tuitition, try the Caedmon classes at the Sage, run by Folkworks. Anthony Robb tutors beginners pipes, not only is he a superb piper, but also a first class tutor. There are also other classes on and you can do two different classes in an evening. For more information click here Probably the best thing at the moment is to get on the mailing list as the present term is nearing its end and a new term will be starting after Easter. PM me if you want to know more. |

21 Mar 06 - 01:08 PM (#1699375) Subject: RE: New pipes From: shepherdlass Good luck, Shields Folk. The pipes are such a wonderful instrument and you can just sit and look at how pretty they are when you're not practising. Trouble is, when I got a hire set, that's all I did! |

21 Mar 06 - 04:01 PM (#1699564) Subject: RE: New pipes From: Shields Folk The classes at the sage look good, I wanted to start the whistle class last year but I missed the start. Perhaps I could do both next term. One thing I would like to do is play the pipes with other pipers so the sage could be a good start. |
