[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 235417, member: 1969"] Though there is something to be said about the original wood that was used and the craftsmanship to get it there. Suddenly, I'm going to end up going full circle and almost sounding as if I'm switching to Sas' camp--which, in a sense, I agree with both sides. I think there was a method of hearty, proper simplicity that, coupled with "good wood" made for these gems of pipes that stick with us these days. The status quo, years back, was a little different product than the mass-produced "churn 'em out" methods we've become accustomed to having now a days--the kind of product that I don't think years will do much for. Violins especially come to mind on that...ahem...note. Like violins, with pipes, you have to find a good maker doing things the old (right?) way to assure yourself something that will find its own warmth and grace with time. 8) [/QUOTE]
