This is very sad news.

Thanks for all the interest in Leif Eriksson set of pipes with A/E and G/D
chanters. The set has been sold and I hope the next owner will enjoy them as much as I have! They are a wonderful.

It looks nice.

Sounds like fun. I will not be attending.

More rambling like the above would be very helpful.

Thank You Olle for all the time you have put into this forum. We are all so lucky to have your input and rambling Wink

With out your work ...

Do you think using sheet plastic might be a better option than carbon fiber. Like what they use on the Easy Drones.

While watching you video I can't help but to hear the tempo increase. Your early recording is more plodding while the You Tube is very up beat. I do like many of the new embellishments but prompted th ...

That is pretty neat.

Here is a short video my friends and I made.

Hello.

The gig is on Oct. 15th I will let you know after. 100 plus should be a challenge with the Swedish pipe.

I'll be sure to check under the 'tone hole bridge' for trolls, thanks for the tip. Should I use a hammer or a torch?

Hi Seth, just wanted to let you know I have been using the resin chanter A/E you sent me a while ago. I want to say that there is little difference between my wood chanter and the resin chanter. I do ...

Check it out.

Linseed oil and Beeswax?? I am talking about the mixture on Olle's site. It works well and it is very, very, very cheap. Sure, it smells a little but, hey, it works very well.

I have to admit that the Pearl Glue or Hide Glue used for seasoning stinks but, it is no where near as bad as some indicate. I have seasoned my Erickson bag twice, inside with the windows closed and h ...

Will be playing in for 100 plus people and expect that I will need to mic my pipes. Any tips on mic placement for 'live' playing would be helpful.

We can talk about doing the Pipers Gathering for next year if that would work best for everyone. That event has no Swedish pipes and it could be pretty pricey once you work the cost of a lodging, food ...

It looks like Aaron and I will be at this festival at the same time http://www.scandinavianjamestown.org/3scand.htm so, should we call this the first meeting??
If any other pipers happen to be in t ...

Thank you so much! My pronunciation may still be miserable but at least I know what I am aiming for , this is so helpful, thank you again.

Seth, the chanter you mailed arrived today. It looks very nice and feels very nice. I will have to make a reed for this chanter. After I have the chanter reeded and have had a chance to play the cha ...

All this information is awesome! Thank You, Olle. The one idea that I did not clearly state in my original post was that I was hoping there could also be sound samples.....asking a lot I know but, I ...

I enjoy playing my Swedish pipes for friends and family but, I have to admit I cringe a little inside when I am asked for the name of the tune I just played. With no one around to help me with the pr ...

Once again I am having trouble with my reeds being hard to tune, shutting down and squealing. I checked my bag for leaks and once again I am leaking from the seam. I just seasoned the bag in October a ...

I use a Leif E. set if you don't already have some one to test one of your chanters I would be willing.

I use the Little Mac and I love it.
