I love my smallpipes although they are the brass drone variety with a chanter than can be converted to a PC with the blowstick. I've had a few offers for them but couldn't part with them. If you sell them you won't find a replacement easily. After 15+ years of college I know what you mean about not having the money. Remember if you don't have the money you can't afford them. Have you thought about taking on some piping students? If you were here I'd be first in line. I'm just starting on the GHP and paid for my McCallum AB2s yesterday. Now to decide on a beginner reed. Remember there is a bargain on Uilleann pipes somewhere out there. O'Neille
