I just bought a sackpipa on ebay--whether that was wise I will find out. I have been studying Olle's site and managed to put the parts together. The drone and chanter make sounds. Now I must do the tuning part.

I have many questions to ask and was wondering if anyone has the time to answer basic questions on the sackpipa. I know there is wonderful information on the internet, but I still need help.

Thanks,

Elizabeth

Can you post a picture of the set you bought on Ebay so we can see what your working with. We should be able to tell you who the maker is, possibly. You just gave me an idea, E-bay. Seth

P.S. post your questions here and we will try our best to answer them.

I read the ebay auction and it says the bag is artificial leather... I wonder what that means? Does anybody know who this maker is? In the auction it says the pipes were made by his cousin in Spain. Elizabeth contacted me and said the reeds were bad and the pipes came with no instructions or contact information for the maker. Let us know if you know who made these pipes so she will be able to contact the maker.

Here is the link to the auction where she bought the set.
