The pipes arrived here on Wednesday of last week and I haven't put them down since. B. MacM (Nova Scotia)
It is sounding fine and it's great having the keys - the C# especially! S. P. (London)
I can play them now... I've only used the plastic reed so far but it plays easily, the bellows work well, and I'm off and running. H. E. (USA)
