I find the Tone Temple a very useful tool for keeping your reed, as well as your chanter in check. Easy to use, chanter reed maintains pitch, better stability all the way around for your pipe chanter reed. Easier to play, saving several minutes of waiting for your pitch to rise to the occasion!! Getting down to business at hand, which is the music!!! A must, if you find that you are having problems in these areas.

Modern Piping is the freshest idea I have seen in my almost 50 years of piping. I think the piping world is looking for something new and refreshing, which you are providing!

Love the Tone Temple Bagpipe Case: very sturdy shell, water resistant outer coating, and loads of storage pockets for accessories. You don’t have to completely dismantle the drones to lay the pipes in the main holding section. Two very thick velcro strips to hold the pipes in place. There’s a TSA lock on it (if you travel internationally on a regular basis) and a humidity gauge - again, if you were travelling across various climates. I just really like the differentlysized storage pouches and the charcoal grey colour. Can be pulled along or worn as a backpack. Exact dimensions for carry-on luggage on aircraft. It’s the best of what I’ve seen and well worth the money. view less

I absolutely love the Tone Temple Bagpipe Case such an outstanding product that I highly recommend. I’ve owned so many different pipe cases throughout my piping career and this case is by far the best case I’ve ever owned. I’m absolutely blow away how fast I received my case since all pre orders for the case would be shipped in February. I live In British Columbia Canada and I received my case in less than a week on February 26th. This is the best service I ever had and experienced. The Tone Temple Bagpipe Case is truly a remarkable product just the way it was designed it’s so usefully for all your piping needs, with so much adequate storage and useful features especially that it’s the perfect size for a case. Thank You to all at Modern Piping for making this happened so proud to own this product.

Normally I have my drone tops tune at the hemp line.
This hemp is so gorgeous, it has to be shown.

great setting……. now if only I can put it to memory!

So glad you’re enjoying the setting of Mason’s Apron! And hey, getting it to memory is half the adventure. Take it phrase by phrase, let it sink in, and before you know it you’ll be playing it without even thinking. We’re cheering you on every step of the way. Happy piping!

The materials and craftmanship are stellar. But that color though! I love it!!! I'm going to have fun showing this off when I get good enough to play at the jam sessions.

We absolutely love this energy! So glad the craftsmanship impressed you, but yes… that color though! And don’t worry about the “when I get good enough” part. Every great player starts exactly where you are. Keep playing, keep enjoying it, and when you do bring it to those sessions, you’re going to have both the sound and the style to match.

I was lost for words when I opened this book.

As a piper taught by the legendary Pipe-Major Donald MacLeod, I have seen a number of piping books over the past 70 years. While all have helped me in different ways, none has inspired me to begin writing my own compositions, as has Ceol Beag (vol.1) by Lincoln Hilton.

This book has everything: from a list of ‘unorthodox movements’, to a collection of innovative tunes that provoke, stimulate and boggle the mind.

Who would have thought of writing a tune by eliminating the first note of an original melody and commencing the ‘new’ version by making the second note the base of the new tune? Startling, to say the least.

Since receiving a copy of this book from my wife Jane, for my 81st birthday recently, I have written a number of my own compositions. These include a tune in mazurka time for my younger grand-son, who has Polish heritage.

I have also begun modifying some of the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss and Vivaldi for the highland bagpipe. This idea works even better on my Blair digital bagpipes, where I have access to different keys and modes.

And I was impressed by Lincoln’s embrace of relatively unused bagpipe notes such as C natural and F natural, which many pipers are either not aware of or have overlooked in their playing.

To me, this book is the Bohemian Rhapsody of bagpipe music books and one which I will treasure for the rest of my days. Thank you Jane and thank you Lincoln.

Wow. We are truly moved reading this. To hear that Ceol Beag – Volume 1 has sparked new compositions after 70 years of piping, and from someone taught by Pipe Major Donald MacLeod, is an incredible honour. The fact that it inspired you to write is simply extraordinary. This is exactly why the book was created. To provoke, to stretch, to open doors that perhaps felt closed.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us, and please thank Jane for the beautiful gift. What a way to celebrate an 81st birthday. We are honoured to be part of your musical story. Keep composing, keep exploring, and keep inspiring us right back. 😊

Great weight fun colors, just took a while to arrive.

Thank you as well for your patience with the delivery. We truly appreciate you sticking with us, and we hope it was well worth the wait. Happy piping! 😊
