    How would the solution
    (ie preserving the hearing of potentially large numbers of people who have to work in noisy environments along with a minute chance of requiring a small handful of pipers to have 5 minutes more of a break)

    be worse than the problem
    (large numbers of people having hearing problems eg tinnitus or going deaf)?

    Haha, telling a piper to "turn it down". Priceless!

    This isn't guitar, folks. There's only one volume, and that's bada**.

    And what? They stop you from playing the pipes....

    Scream and yell....lift your kilt and just run at them...

    Works most of the time.

    Lightbulb Lord please I hope not.

    I love listening to my pipes with full unplugged clarity, although I am sure like everything if you play at a constant db level you will effect your hearing.
    So perhaps it isnt a bad idea for players, but for spectators they may want to carry a pair of ear plugs any.

    By the way to make a pair of earplugs I keep the foam peanuts from packing boxes and cut them into two.
    Works well and you can still tune and play then throw away at the end of the performance.
    Or send me $5.00 and I can make a set of twenty.

    Sounds like a deal, how do you protect them for shipping?

    Kiwipipinghot,
    Hello and a PLAY IT LOUD AND PLAY IT PROUD from Boston, Massachusetts.
    Tell Scruffy to lower the volume... It ain't gonna happen. Casey & Company would just turn it up LOUDER!
