If you're interested in buying the set of Herriot and Allen Smallpipes I played at the beginning of the episode, Email Rob Edwards here. He’s also making excellent bellows and furniture presently, and likely small pipes soon as well!

Of the several makers who’s instruments I was able to play for this episode, Robert Felsburg is I believe the only one actively taking orders.

You may still technically be able to get on Fin Moore’s waitlist, but I’m not sure how you’d go about it.
