If not, you could always try to build some steam powered bagpipes. ;-)

Lotsa work, Ed. Lookin' good. It looks like you have quite the

Bagpipes were invented to scare the enemy on the battlefield. Adding
live steam to one would make it even scarier. I think Ed might be the

I'm sorry, sir, but the terms "bagpipe" and "style" cannot coexist in
the same paragraph, let alone sentence or document.

Well, until I heard this. ;) (About 1:30)

--Ah! There's a guy on ebay who sells nothing but valves. The price fluctuate so the trick is to wait for the bargains. I'm buying 'em for about 1/4 of the price for Parker valves.
