Today was my first day really playing the Naills (e.g., not just drones alone). Fantastic. With Ezee Drones, they sound (and play) just like I remember my teacher's pipes (his everyday pipes were DN1s; these are DN3s). Very nice blended sound with good volume, but lighter and crisper than my McCallums. They're also noticeably steadier and easier to tune while creating more interesting and complex harmonics. I need to figure out a moisture control rig, since the plastic replacement stock that came with the pipes won't work with a Trap-Dri bottle. The stock seems to be made specifically to fit a tube trap. However, I think I might be able to fit the bottle on on using a short piece of plastic tubing.
