Though we had never seen their Rauschpfeifs we did not hesitate to purchase from them. I'm glad we did. Though they are extremely loud, as all rauschpfeifs are, they both have amazingly beautiful tones. The tenor has the tone quality of an english horn on steroids. The alto is smooth and just loud, not obnoxious. We have already decided that we are buying their single bladderpipes because we wants some that are not droned. If all this is true, then of course I want one, but does it address the issue of back pressure? Since you have experience with all these others, how long (say renaissance dances) can you play one? I used the rauschpfeiff for fanfares before giving up and selling it. No problem as fanfare instruments; gave me time to recover my breath.
