"Pipes are my passion. I love to make pipes, and I seek to create the perfect pipe every time. The perfect pipe for me is a pipe that has the right proportions, so that nothing disturbs your eyes. It must be light, not too much wood but just enough to smoke well. Finish is of course a vital issue, it must be warm and with contrast so you can enjoy the grain. Mouthpiece is also important, because here you are closest to the pipe. What I prefer is a slim mouthpiece with a saddle, short or longer, and a bite that is 3.7- 3.8 mm. thick. I make about 100 pipes a year. My production has gone down over the last 4-5 years, but in the same time the quality of my pipes has gone up. The main reason for my improvement is that 4 years ago I stopped working with the sanding band, and switched to sanding the pipes by hand. This made me able to make more detailed models and of course a much better finish. I also select my wood (mostly Italian) in the highest quality, and the ebonite is of course of the best clarinet quality." Kurt Balleby |  |
