pipe clips

A pipe band is a musical ensemble consisting of pipers and drummers. The term pipes and drums, used by military pipe bands is also common.
The most common form of pipe band consists of a section of pipers playing the Great Highland bagpipe, a section of snare drummers (often referred to as 'side drummers'), several tenor drummers and usually one, though occasionally two, bass drummers. The tenor drummers and bass drummer are referred to collectively as the 'bass section' (or in North America as the 'midsection'), and the entire drum section is collectively known as the drum corps. The band follows the direction of the pipe major; when on parade the band may be led by a drum major, who directs the band with a mace. Standard instrumentation for a pipe band involves 6 to 25 pipers, 3 to 10 side drummers, 1 to 6 tenor drummers and 1 bass drummer. Occasionally this instrumentation is augmented to include additional instruments (such as additional percussion instruments or keyboard instruments), but this is typically done only in concert settings.
Pipe bands started in Scottish Regiments of the British Army, in the nineteenth century. The tradition then spread to former British colonies such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, as well as constituents of the Commonwealth of Nations. In addition, a number of other countries have adopted the tradition, notably in areas with Celtic roots: Ireland (circa 1900), Brittany in Northwestern France (1940s), and the regions of Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria in Northern Spain.

    How to run and insulate pipes under suspended floor

    After a CH install I've lifted the floor boards to find the central pipes unsecured and not insulated. The pipes are not even run next to anything to be secured to, and the access to the crawl space has been blocked with pipes. What's the best solution here. Should I rerun the pipes and clip...

    Retrofit pipe clips

    Looking at retrofitting some pipe clips to existing pipe runs . Unfortunately when the pipes were install originally there is literally minimal space between them (not by me- probably the original pipe runs), so a pipe clip with the screw space in the centre won’t work and can’t lift the pipes...

    Hi all, Just realised I've never actually had to fix pipe clips (for 15mm copper) to plasterboard. Am I right in thinking I can just screw them on, with a screw going into a drywall plug? Jennie

    101... well 1 use for pipe clips other than clipping pipe

    As is usual for most things these days the music stand below broke because the key component was made of plastic rather than metal so I set about fixing it. Below are the results including four 22mm Talon pipe clips to hold the head in place. Anyone else used clips for something other than plumbing?
