I purchased this set of pipes when I started competing at a higher level. The sound is incredible. They are some of the best sounding pipes I have ever heard. However, after 3 seasons of bagpiping, they are starting to crack everywhere. I have taken excellent care of them with regular maintenance so I feel the wood that was used was poor would. I paid 2500 for 3 seasons of use and now have to buy a new set.
