Excellent except for dry skin, November 17th, 2009 11:14 am

I bought this because of all the travelling I do; I felt it was a chance to practice on planes, hotel rooms etc. As long as you don\'t mind being stared at in planes, and being stopped in security, it\'s great. Good to carry music with you, some earphones and the battery works. You may need to play Scotland the Brave for someone in security. It\'s always been fun, sound quality and controls are great. My only BUT is, in planes especially, dry skin makes for poor electrical contacts. Hand lotion helps, but you end up really bearing down to make a clear signal. It can be very frustrating dropping out low A\'s or G\'s all the time. Maybe this new model has been improved, I had the previous one which had no sensitivity adjustments. It\'s also fantastic to practice on while watching TV on the sofa with your wife/husband/dog etc as you can get a practice in without bothering anyone. And if you have a cold or sore throat and don\'t feel like blowing, it\'s a great alternative. I\'ve never regretted owning it. I keep it in my car now, plug it into my sound system and practice while in car washes, slow traffic, long lights etc. Too much fun! Great for the travelling piper., December 19th, 2009 03:02 pm

These are great for extra practice when a conventional chanter or the full pipes are not an option. I travel an hour each way to my work site by bus. While most passengers use this time to catch up on sleep, I can pull out the Deger and work on exercises or tunes. Found the best solution for the dry skin is Glysomed hand cream.
