Subject: Canmore over a leaky hide? Author: Eric P. Flowers [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:02:22 02/13/02 Wed I currently have a small hide bag (brand new and well seasoned) on my set of bagpipes. It leaks at a stock that has been well secured with straps and rubber tape. Should I attempt a reasoning, try to repair, or get a medium Canmore bag?
