How would you find out in which country bagpipes were first played?

The answer to this question is complex. For instance..."How much does a car cost?" Like the purchase of a car, the cost of a performing bagpiper depends on many things. What is the occasion? How much time is involved? Is there travel involved? How many tunes do you want?
For a simple performance of thirty minutes or less, you should expect to pay at a minimum $200-$300 plus transportation and lodging (if an overnight stay is required). JThere is a lot involved in making the pipes playable in different locations. Changes in humidity, temperature (air conditioning), and even barometric pressure (altitude) play a part.
For this reason, a 30 minute performance will probably require significantly more time than that just for the pipes to settle in. You are paying not only for the playing time, but for the pipers time in making sure his pipes sound properly. http://www. % riteweb.com (remove the spaces and '%' sign)

What is the Lifters on 1997 Toyota Camry LE V6 Engine is very noisy?
Are you sure that the lifters are creating the noise? I have had a 94 LE and a 99 CE Camry 4 cyl. and have had the same noise in the AC compressor. Dealer claimed it was the belts slapping the timing cover and wanted $1,200 to fix. I got the timing belt water pump and all tune up parts for $200 and did it myself. While the sound is still there I found out from a local mechanic that the toyo compressors have a bad habit of rattling like lifters. hope this helped.
AnswerIs it possible that it is time for a oil change?Sometimes a speck of dirt gets in the lifter[s] and that makes them act as solid lifters,thus the noise. ....Is wrestling legend roddy piper dead?
