Thanks to you and Blayne for your wonderful advice and quick responses. Tell Blayne that I still enjoy playing my Lightline Heddy and many friends at our pub sessions here always want to play it too. I think at least two of them have bought one because they liked it so much and the price is still amazing. Anything similar here you would have to pay at least $300 to $350 CDN.

I received my Feadog Pro D and Dixon Trad (which you highly recommended). The Pro D plays as I have read about - a little less sensitive than the standard brass. The Trad is just as you described, Blayne. It sounds good and is smooth to play - I am truly enjoying it. Thank you so much for your time and advice. It was above and beyond and I will buy from Whistle & Drum again!
