If you have problems with some parts or with reeds, please contact Mr. Jens Guentzel. He is a pipe and reed maker here in Germany and he is able to make all for bagpipes for a fair price within a short time. Please ask him also for complete sets and for his learning workshops.

About the Author: I started 1969 with a GHP and I still love to play it. My favorite tune just covers this page. After a long time of band praxis, teaching and solo piping for dancers, these parts of piping are canceled, because my two children need a lot of time. In future, I hope, there will be a family band. Just for fun and experience, I made several full sets, chanters and other parts for pipes. Please excuse my poor English, but I am German and not that much used to your language. Gerrit Raith, Jan. 1998.
