    I play Dunbar P-3s and find that when the reeds are set up properly that they're quite comfortable to play - don't seem to require a lot of air.

    I love the Henderson drone sound, which is one reason why I went with Dunbars. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

    I own a Dunbar P-3 and have played other kinds of pipes and never noticed a difference in air requirements. Poly pipes are more stable (no warping), requires less maintenance, and can take alot more accidental abuse than ABW pipes. Get a set of Dunbar P-series pipes.

    Your right

    Mr. Wgority,
    You are absolutely right about this being in the wrong forum, I am sorry about that but replied to another thread in this forum.
    I didn’t even realize there was a Celtic Music Forum just bellow this one. I gotta get around more.
