That's awsome!! I'll tell you a quick story right now as a blind piper. My first set was a Naill plastic bagpipe from August 2013. I loved that set, except when I finally heard Alastair Dunn playing a set of Hendersons the tonal quality just got me HOOKED on getting Hendersons because of the bigger bass sound. My Naills had far too much tenor sound and far too little bass. However,I was somewhat "forced" by other pipers to get Blackwood pipes, and I've only heard horror stories about Blackwood pipes, that somehow only tough blind people or sighted people would be the only pipers who'd be able to handle ABW pipes. Seriously, legit, my sighted nonpiping dad does all the maintenance for me, LOL. Once my dad dies, I'm definitely selling my Blackwood pipes. If pipers hate the fact that I still play plastic when I finally move up to grade 1, I'll honestly tell them that I'm blind and that's all I can work with on my own, now that my dad would've been too old to take care of them. If I had my way, I'd immediately sell my Blackwood pipes and replace them with RG Hardie Poly pipes because they've got more bass than even my current 2018 Peter Henderson pipes, and I really think Blackwood pipes are like a regressive tax as I learned about in an Econ class. More expensive and they're worse than plastic in my opinion.

Those sound really good! Best color-way of any GHB I have seen as well.
