Uilleann pipes or Bagpipes from pipes from Pakistan

Just in follow up with respect to the Pakistan Uilleann pipes I bought from  stanp368 my dispute with this man continues. 

It is important to make sure that if you buy replacement reeds for the drones or for the chanter ask the ebay seller if the reeds are from Pakistan. If they are they probably won't fit.  Its best you go to a Uilleann dealer directly.

I would also caution those buying cheap bagpipes from from stanp368.  You will run into the same problem he will deny they are from Pakistan and just play dumb.  I've spoken to the sellor on the phone.  Make no mistake about it  he is an expert on these low quality pipes from Pakistan.  In fact it was him who told me that any replacement reeds I buy on ebay probably won't fit.   When I told him I had to buy a replacement chanter he also spent time telling me I made a mistake as the chanter won't fit either.   In my view the guy is an expert on these low quality pipes. 

To fix your pipes google the article Reworking Pakistani Pipes by Doug Dexter

Be prepared to spend more cash.  I'm at additional $700.00 trying to get them to play.
