Many thanks to all who replied, I've given this lots of thought! I really am set on a concert D set of pipes as my primary aim is to play with the many melodeon players that I know and this rather fixes me in D, especially for the majority of the tunes I already play. I am also determined to sing with the pipes, although I acknowledge the potential problems with the strap. Although we have both a chromatic and FC autoharp, the majority of our instruments are DG diatonics or straight D diatonic (Gordon has converted two 'harps by scratch building complete chord bar assemblies for them).
Before I finally decide to order a set, is there anyone on the list that may wish to part with a concert D set? I've bought 'harps this way before from another list, Cyberpluckers, and at least we knew the owner had a decent knowledge of the instrument otherwise they wouldn't have contributed to the list. I suspect that this goes double for this list!
