Winter newsletter 2015


Greetings!

We hope everyone in the United States had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We have had a great year and highlights include a couple new festivals, most notably our participation in a folk festival in Rudolstadt, Germany.  We also had Carlos Nunez visit our booth in North Texas and play all our instruments.  It’s been a busy year and it wouldn’t have been possible without our employee, Ken Staples, keeping the lathes and saws running while I’m moving product at all the music festivals.

Looking forward to next year we are planning a return to Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany.  We still have a few open dates so if you know a festival that would enjoy having Carbony Celtic Winds as a vendor please let us know.

We have an update on our product developments. We now offer custom bellows by Hope Pipes for two new products.  We have bellows available on our Scottish Smallpipes and a carbon fiber practice set of Uilleann pipes.

Carbony Smallpipes now ship with custom drone reeds designed for our geometries by Pipedreams of Scotland.

We have also retooled the bore of our full body Irish flute in D and modeled after an 1859 Pratten. It is available as a short foot model with a more refined tuning slide design. 

Also introducing a session version of our high D whistle with a larger bore for when you need extra volume, and redesigned our quiet whistle with a smaller bore.  Our standard D remains the same.

We also have available in limited supplies wooden gift boxes for our high whistles, custom made by Quiltboxes. The box is approx. 14” x 3 ½” x 3” tall made of bloodwood and fumed oak.
