Queue closing again for drones and sets for a short time while we double check our queue and pacing. We've had several multiple orders recently, so we don't want to get too far ahead as we check our production speed.

We're also changing the way we manage the queue.

The present queue for new set and drone orders is about 3 months. We're figuring 1 extra week for drone and half set orders, and a little less than an extra week for a new practice set order. Chanters and reeds will fill-in steadily among the set orders.

All back-ordered drones and half sets are now under construction.

Quieter "Apartment" Penny-Chanters
A subdued Penny-Chanter in Concert D tuning and tonality is now on sale for practice purposes where easy performance at reduced loudness is paramount.

About the Set Queue Interruptions
We unexpectedly had to move house to move my aging mother in with us last year. The care situation has kept us from maintaining full work days in the shop.

She's doing well and will be moving into an assistedliving facility next month, which was her original plan, and we expect to be back to our full work days and productivity by summer.
