    Thanks for the clear explanation!

    So a person couldn't take their ivory-mounted pipes from Eire to Northern Ireland?

    Things are much simpler in North America...well they were until NAFTA, which was an attempt at a semi-EU thing.

    In any case here's a Scottish-made set for well under $1,000 with air-tight provenance in great condition that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

    Why you say? Because I've come across a couple Clan Bagpipes sets and I didn't think much of those drones. They were very difficult to reed, suggesting that there was something off with the specs.

    If any pipers out there have played good Clan Bagpipes drones please tell us about it. My sample-size was just two sets.
