Comes with 2 working reeds. Brand new on Michael Vignoles web site it goes for $780. I am asking $550 obo.

    Kerry Low D Whistle This was made from the makers of Chieftain Whistles. Phil Hardy came up with the Kerry Low D with a molded, tunable headjoint. The body is a aluminum alloy with no dents. Few light surface scratches from regular use; nothing deep or distracting from its beauty. It has a deep soft tone that plays easily throughout the 2 octives. Lark In the Morning lists it for $140. Anything over $100 takes it home.

    Thorton High D whistle Wonderful low back pressure D whistle. Plays clear and true with very little chiff. Bought whistle this year. Brand new $88 - I'm selling it for $60.

    Reason for the sale is a new C# set is almost ready and someone else deserves a good D chanter and whistles instead of it laying around not being played ! Thanks for all of your intrest.

  3. SOLD: Steve Vickers D Practise Set - Great condition, tied into a new L&M bag with Gallagher stocks. Soneone soldered a smaller tube on the inside of the bellows pipe (see pictures). The bellows is air tight, powerful, and functions very well. The blackwood chanter has a lovely wooden top. There is a superfiscial crack on the inside near the ferrule that that does not penetrate all the way through, and does not affect the functioning of the chanter.

  4. SOLD: Boisvert & Childress B ½ Set - ...
    B Chanter by B.C. Childress, made in 2002
    African Blackwood body with boxwood mounts and brass ferrules and "full mounts and ferrules" as per Childress' specifications - no keys. Blackwood chanter top(unkeyed) with "gooseneck" air tube. Includes an extra reed by Childress. Very mellow tone, easy to play in both octaves. Very worry-free chanter - I don't even look at the reed. Noticeable dulling on the brass (I never liked how it looked new so I don't polish them) but otherwise mint condition.
    Drones by Dave Boisvert of Greenwood Pipes, made in 2002
    African blackwood with boxwood mounts and brass ferrules, hollow boxwood mainstock with hand-rolled ferrules and brass switch, boxwood "cup" with hand-rolled ferrule, and boxwood plugs installed in tenor and baritone regulator holes. Boxwood "sound box" on bass drone with brass accent plate (extra plain boxwood box also supplied). Drones are fully reeded with elder (Minnesota grown & collected) drone reeds. There is a minor tuning issue with the tenor drone, I have to pull off the decorative boxwood cap to get it in tune. Not sure how this is remedied, but I'm including the cap anyway. Again, more dulling of the brass parts, but otherwise in tip-top shape both visually and aurally.
    Leather bag by L&M Highland with blackwood/boxwood chanter and blowpipe stock by Dave Boisvert and blowpipe by Mike McHarg. Cherry bellows by Brad Angus. Cherry cheeks with ebony air valve, traditional "thong" style hinge and leather bellows with brass tacked red velvet cover and elbow pad. Includes leather arm and waist belts. The air supply tube is reinforced rubber hose and with PVC at the end. I never had proper stocks for the bellows. Not pretty, but it works. Includes a "Pipemajors" case and box of extra drone reeds and misc stuff.
    Also throwing in a plain rosewood mouth-blown practice chanter in D with two plastic reeds. This works pretty well and can reach 2nd octave and "hard" D. It will fit into the headstock on the B chanter so if you want to make more noise, here ya go. You can also have my reed-making kit: gouge, straight-edge scraping knife, honing stones and oil, shooting board, various threads and waxes, staple forming thingy (I forgot the name), brass and copper tubing for staples, copper strips for bridles, toolbox, large box of Arundo donax for chanter reeds and scarlet elder (Sambucus pubens) cane in various sizes and grades for both chanter and drone reeds.

  6. SOLD: Bruce Du Ve D Full Set - Set in D by Bruce Du Ve. The set is African Blackwood and with Brass ferrules and regulator keys, with Imitation ivory mounts. The set was made c.1978.
    The set comprises the following:
    Chanter, with 1 key (c natural), with brass top and stop key. The chanter is stamped B.W. DuVe, AN SPIDEAL.
    Stock and drones, with a straight bass drone.
    3 regulators, the bass reg having a straight bar. This set features an innovative removable bass regulator bar, allowing packing into a smaller case.
    An additional chanter by Mickey Dunne, with c natural key, in Ebony with Boxwood mounts, is also included. The Mickey Dunne chanter does not have a top, but it fits the Bruce Du Ve chanter top.
    Bag is by L & M. Bellows by Cillian O'Briain.
    A case is not included in the sale.
    Please note the F and G keys on the Tenor regulator shown not fitted in the photos, are now refitted.
    Reason for the sale:
    I have been asked to sell this set for a customer who has purchased a set of my pipes recently. My client bought the set new from Bruce Du Ve in 1978, and has owned the set ever since. The set is well maintained, with no cracks in the timber, and is fully reeded. Drones and Regulator reeds are by Alan Burton, Chanter reeds by myself (Andy Faden). Bruce Du Ve was an innovative maker who only made a small number of sets, so this is an opportunity to become the owner of a rare and unusual set of pipes.
    Pipes located in the UK (Bedford).

  7. SOLD: David Williams D Full Set - For personal reasons, I’m going to sell my full set before 4-6 months. It is a concert pitch (in ivory) made by Dave Williams in 1985 for my music teacher.
    It’s in excellent condition ; A restoration was collectively made by Jacky Proux & Alain Froment last month (about 30 working hours):
    Some welds were redone, certain parts in metal strengthened (without altering either the aesthetics or the sound of the instrument), the leather plugs were changed, keys re-plated, etc. This set is perfectly sealed!
    The bellows (very comfortable/light) has an excellent return and has no leaks: it was made last year by Jacky Proux. My teacher has played this set during 20 years in the following bands : “Dan ar Braz”,” Gwerz”, “Den”, etc.
    David Power playing my set with my teacher (on the right with his beautiful C# Full set)
    Myself playing these pipes
    I will take my final decision concerning the buyer before some weeks, so there are no emergencies.
    I’m waiting for serious offers only (I won’t sell it under 10.000€)
    PS: There are possibilities to get this set without chanter or with my Froment chanter or with the original Williams chanter
    NB: Each drones can be tuned in E (ferrule system)

  10. SOLD: Charles Roberts D Practise Set - This set (chanter, bellows and bag) was made by Charles Roberts in 1999. I am the original owner.
    The chanter is made of African blackwood, brass and imitation ivory, and is in D, with two keys: Cnat and Fnat. It has been reeded very recently by Michael Donovan. The reed is excellent and is made of spruce, which gives it extra stability. It is very easy to play. Minor tuning problems were fixed by adequate rushing. The chanter sounds very well and in tune, as demonstrated by the audio and video recordings. The keys work fine, one imitation ivory mount is missing.
    The bellows works perfectly, arm strap slightly worn.
    The bag had had some leaking problems, which were solved a few years ago by gluing an extra layer of thin leather, so the bag is a bit thicker than usual - this sets the basic pressure level slightly higher, but the chanter itself requires very little pressure, so overall the set is easy to play and is very stable, including with drones (I played it with drones for years). The bag already has a cup for a drone and reg mainstock, and is covered with a beautiful cover recently made from high quality blue velvet.
    You can see the set in the attached photos, hear it in the attached audio recording, and finally, both see and hear it (and me) in action at the following u-tube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOUoEF7rEEs
    I am selling because I have been using another, fully-keyed chanter, for several years, but more importantly, I have recently become a Rogge-addict, and after having bought a Rogge full set in C, I am now upgrading my D set to a full set with new chanter and regs.

  14. SOLD: Desi Seery D Full Set - These pipes are older and well used. They are tied into a new L&M bag. The common stock is weathered, but otherwise they look pretty nice. The chanter has a twist style shut off valve on the top. I think that there used to be a pin there to line up the holes for the top. There is a small hole at the top of the chanter where the pin would go. This is not afffecting the performance of the chanter top or chanter. The chanter was recently professionally repaired to replace a small chip out of one of the key blocks. The repair is not visible. The chanter has four keys and blocks for one more key, I believe. The chanter currently has a reed made by David Daye and is working nicely in both octaves, with some rushing of the chanter staple and a little tape here and there. I broke the bass drone reed, so I replaced the drone reeds with eze-drone reeds and they are working well. The regs are way beyond my ability. They are reeded and I can get some good sounds out of some key combinations, but I really don't know how to tune them or play them. The bracket on the bass drone is loose and can be slid around, but this does not affect its functioning. The pipes are blackwood (ebony??) with brass and plastic. I purchased these as an opportunity to try out the regs and try a chanter different than my practice set chanter. I like the chanter alot, but the regs are way beyond me. I am asking $5500, or best offer, plus shipping and insurance. I can accept Paypal, or other payment methods. I would also consider trades for a flat half set and some D drones. Please feel free to contact me at bagpiperse@netzero.com with questions, to hear them over the phone, or to discuss an offer.

  18. SOLD: Full set in D - Full set of either Dan O'Dowd or depending upon who you believe, Wilkinson concert D pipes. The chanter took a trip to Belfast and was identified as Dan O'Dowd, but was damaged beyond repair and subsequently stripped of it's mountings and keyword and a new one built by BC Childress. I actually wouldn't mind keeping that. The drones are reeded and sound great, the regs have never been seriously reeded up. Blackwood, brass, real ivory, with a cocobolo mainstock. Entire set is in excellent condition, airtight and ready to play except for setting up the regs. I have a full set coming ahead of schedule and a number of personal expenses that suggest I shouldn't attempt to maintain both full sets, so I'm making this one available. Better photos to follow. I'm entertaining offers.

  20. SOLD: Seth Gallagher D Practice Set - Seth Gallagher D Practice Set with Brass Rings in immaculate condition. Four key mounts and no keys. I am the 2nd owner of these and the set was in Seth’s hands before I bought them to check out. I have owned them about 7 years and believe they were about 2 years old when I bought them. My total time on them has been about 4-6 hours. Seth made a new reed for them about 4 years ago (as I recall) which may have an hour on it. The instrument has been kept in a humidified and air-conditioned room with seven harps and a grand piano. Children, job, and not enough practice time suggests that selling to someone that will use this set is a wise move! The bottom note does have a piece of black electrical tape on it to decease the size of the hole, which was likely placed by the previous owner, who, I am guessing, had a small right hand/finger. I’ll include Spillane’s tutor and the Clarke tutor + cassette plus a cordura case. Contact Dan Sullivan at pipes@cdlweb.net or call my office at 815.344.1392. Asking $1,725 plus shipping and insurance. I prefer to not ship outside the U.S.

  21. SOLD: David Daye D ½ Set - Everything but the drones and bag were received new from David in April '07. The drones and bag are about 2 years old and were bought second hand. The chanter is a combination of PVC and brass, the bag is high quality leather, and the drones are delrin/brass. All parts are in great shape and the set plays well. The reed sounds great (see sound samples). The only thing that needs adjusting is the tenor drone reed (which is synthetic). Right now I have the tenor drone taped over (imo it sounds fine with just bass and baritone). If you have a large waistline, you may need to get a new piece of plastic tubing as I'm pretty thin, but it shouldn't be a problem. The set will be available mid to late November as I'm waiting on another set to arrive. The set has been awesome in getting me off the ground, but I'm ready to upgrade to something I can eventually add regs to. This set would be ideal for a beginner, or someone looking for compact travel/spare set.
    $1100 for the set not including shipping. A half set from David costs $1,300 and is about a year wait. For more info see his website.

  23. SOLD: Kirk Lynch Drones, Kevin Thompson Regulators D ¾ Set - No Chanter - Set is a 3/4 set. NO CHANTER. Drones, bag and bellows by Kirk Lynch in the late 90s. Regulators by Kevin Thompson. This set was purchased from a piper in NM who kept them in mint condition and they have been kept in this condition in a non-smoking home. Drones are a beautiful rose-colored wood, probably cocobolo or mopane and still look brand new. Regulators are black-stained boxwood. The drones use Kirk's synthetic reeds, the regs have cane. All but the baritone drone reed are working well. I have hesitated from working on the reeds too much as you will probably want to modify them depending on how you play. Drones play and sound great and the regs are well in tune and airtight and have been serviced in the past by Seth Gallagher.Seller has decided to pursue fiddle as her primary instrument so these must go. Asking $3000. Comes with a hard case. Set will ship from the Los Angeles area.

    Reason for sale: I purchased this set in error. I am a complete novice and should have been starting with a practice set. I have found it difficult to manage with the drones.

  25. SOLD: Tim Britton D ¾ Set - The set is made of rosewood (except for the stocks) and is very lightweight. The chanter has four keys and a metal top, no stop key. The metalwork is brass. This set has a number of “extras”: an “A” drone with a separate switch in addition to the normal 3 drones, and an “E” key on the baritone regulator between the “D” and the “F#” keys. Some of the tenons use cork for the seals, and some have waxed thread.
    I purchased the half set used about 7 years ago. Tim added the two regulators for me a few years back. He had enough of the original rosewood left from when he constructed the original set to make the tenor and baritone regulators. At that time, he also had enough rosewood available for the bass regulator, but I did not have that one constructed. It’s likely he still has the rosewood if the buyer would want to add it to complete the set. I have been storing it in a soft guitar case. There is no “official” case.
    The set has minimal wear, but is obviously “pre-owned”. There was a crack on the bell of the bass drone that was repaired prior to my obtaining the set. One of the wooden supports for a key on the chanter was broken off, but repaired by Tim Britton. A hairline crack is still visible. The regulators are in virtually new condition. It takes a considerable amount of pressure on the bag, by design. The bellows are very comfortable and pump very well. There are no leaks.
    The sound of the set is very open, lively and expressive. Please see Tim Britton’s web page here for more about his pipes: www.skep.com/britton/pipes.htm
    I’m selling the set because I have another 3/4 set that I’m playing most of the time now. The Britton set is beautiful, but I would rather have the money from the sale to fund my other vices than keep a set that I’m not playing. It should go to a good home.
    My asking price is $6000 plus shipping and insurance, which is about 1/3 off of what a new 3/4 set with these options would cost new from Tim.

  26. SOLD: B.C. Childress B Chanter - In rosewood, made in 2001, artificial ivory rings, brass keyless headpiece. The chanter has 4 keys; long F natural, Bb, C natural, & Ab. Included are one reed by Bruce Childress and a spare by Brad Angus (actually made for an Angus B flat chanter, but plays very well in this one also). There has been no damage to, previous repairs done on, or modifications done to the chanter other than a little tape on the back D. It plays well in tune with what I would describe as a medium bag pressure requirement, and a medium volume. It's a very comfortable stick to hold, thinner than many flat chanters, and has a scalloped back D, and a right hand "thumbrest". B.C.'s current (Sept. 04') price for the same chanter would be about $1,100.00 dollars. I'm asking $900.00 dollars U.S.$ plus shipping and insurance charges. I'm in California. I'm selling it because I acquired another B chanter I like just a little better. Here's a few low resolution photos.

  28. SOLD: Johnny Burke C# ¾ Set - [EDIT: New Information: it is now believed that this set was made by Willie Rousome and repaired by Johnny Bourke in the 80's.] 3/4 set of Johnny Burke (died c.1903, Dublin) C# uilleann pipes from the late 19th Century. (Apparently this set is by another Johnny Burke, not the one we are familiar with - Pat.) The set comprises a chanter, bag, stock with three drones and two regulators, and a bellows. It is fully reeded and is playing well. The set is made from ebony with brass and ivory detailing/ornamentation throughout. The stock is of rosewood.
    The chanter has three keys. The head of the chanter is metal and is unlikely to be original.
    The bellows is by Davy Spillane ( Dublin ) and is about 20 years old.
    Condition: One regulator key needs to be re-sprung.
    Reason for sale: I have another set and don’t play this set enough to justify keeping it.

  29. SOLD: Seth Gallagher B ¾ Set - For all those serious pipers out there, I am happy to announce that I am selling my fully loaded 3/4 Seth Gallagher Flat Pitch Pipes in B. These pipes were built by Seth in the summer of 2003. They are made of ebony and brass. The Chanter is fully keyed with the traditional F natural wrap around. The chanter also has a wooden top with no stop key. The reed is working well and comes with a number of back up reeds made over the years. The drones are very warm and stable with the original cane reeds made by Seth. The regs are working well and reeds are made of cane. Bellows are in great shape and I had new leather put on about 2 years ago. The pipe bag is also very new. These pipes are in very good condition! There are no major scratches or chips, just the regular wear and tear for a set that is 4 years old. I am selling the pipes because I feel that I am not playing these pipes enough due to my busy schedule and my hands are too small for the stretch. Gallagher pipes are professional class and are use by many professional pipers. Please see the attached photos and if more are required please don’t hesitate to ask. Also feel free to check the link that I added below for sound clips played by Brian Bigley. This is the exact set that I am selling. He borrowed my pipes to record on his album. As you may not know, Seth is now on a 4 year waiting list. He is also not making B pipes anymore and only offers C pipes and concert pitch. I decided to sell the pipes for $8000 United States Dollars plus shipping. Please feel free to contact me at uilleannpiper3@hotmail.com or 613-231-2523 which is eastern standard time “same as New York ”.

  30. SOLD: Peter Hunter D Chanter - Peter Hunter wide-bore concert pitch (D) Uilleann pipe chanter. This is a top end chanter made by Peter Hunter in his Micklethwaite workshop (1995). The finest ebony available, hand-rolled brass swan-neck & cap, fully-keyed (ring F nat, G#, Bb & C nat). It’s in full working order, was very recently checked over by Hunter pipes and comes with a good reed and spare. This is a superb chanter, it has that big Hunter sound, crisp hard ‘D’s and ‘E’s, glassy back ‘D’s and a tone that sings with rich harmonics and partials. Check out the sound clip on Hunter pipes site under ‘Hunter D’ to hear this chanter. Serious offers only please. Will post anywhere so long as you pay for it and the postage.
    NB. I’m selling because I have two concert chanters and 'haven’t played in concert pitch for months because I’m addicted to a glorious Hunter B set and need the cash to get even more bits! : )

  31. SOLD: Neil O'Grady D Full Set - Neil O'Grady/BC Childress full set--a full set of Uilleann pipes in Cocobolo with extra chanter keys. The set includes everything but a case. You will receive two sets of reeds for Regulators and drones, popping strap and bag. This set was purchased in 2002 from Neil O'Grady. It was sent to BC Childress in 2004 and completely reworked (cork replacing twine as sealant). So there are three drones and three regulators, bellows, bag, popping strap, chanter included.
    I am selling this because I want to start over. I will be going with a half set or practice set. The regulators were very intimidating to play for a novice and prohibited me from practicing. Neil's pipes are very well constructed and with BC Childress rework you know you are in for quality. Neil's current price for a full set is $4000. This is my asking price because of the excellent condition as well as the rework. You pay the shipping but it will be actual cost only. I won't increase shipping just to make more money.

  32. SOLD: Seth Gallagher D Full Set - Full set made by Seth Gallagher in 2003. Ebony with Nickel Silver, Sterling Silver keys & imitation ivory mounts. Chanter is keyed with 2 keys (High C natural and F) and is well reeded by Andy Faden. As to the drones - 2 sets of reeds included in sale (1 cane By Seth- 1 synthetic by Bruce Childress). The bass regulator is the traditional "straight" style, and all the regulators are equipped with Seth's bronze regulator reeds. The L&M bag which is covered in Seths Green Velvet is in great condition as well as Seths traditional cherry bellows. The reason for the sale is that I already have a full set by another maker and I am in line to have a B set made very shortly. Seth's wait for a full set is now up to Four years, and to get a duplicate set like this one will cost of you $9200 (plus $125 per key), so this is an opportunity for serious bidders to get a great set without the wait..$7500 US. Serious inquiries only please. Buyer pays all shipping costs. Please feel free to ask any Q's and I will respond promptly. Thank you for looking.

  33. SOLD: Seth Gallagher D ½ Set - A fully loaded half set by Seth Gallagher - as new condition with zero issues. Then why am I selling this? They are my wife's and she is not able to give the time to play them that she would like and is sure they could be more fully used by another piper.
    Ebony pipes with silver keys, nickel silver metalwork, and ivory mounts; all four chanter keys; chanter shut-off key; trumpet-style bass drone end; extra A drone with pop-gun style plug (also in mammoth ivory) - all reeds in perfect shape; Beautiful bellows in black leather with velvet pad. The set has all the Seth Gallagher style and design. I am sure there is more detail I can add but look at the photos that speak for themselves.
    The pipes are 2 year old but have not been played the last time by a professional piper a month ago who said they were immaculate if only he could…… Stunning workmanship all around. Seth's work is highly praised by many in the Uilleann community, including Paddy Maloney.
    Costs:
    uilleann pipes: $4,800.00
    bellows: $300.00
    Total paid: $5,100.00
    Asking: $4500.00 (which includes a black solid case for shipment at no extra cost) Purchaser pays shipment and insurance costs.
    I can take 10% down to demonstrate serious interest and hold the set for 3 months to enable you to gather the balance.
    Of Note: For a couple of reasons. This is the price as it was set upon back then; Seth's price list has seen an increase since then. Additionally, Mr. Gallagher's waiting list for D sets is now being estimated at 18 to 20 months.

  34. SOLD: Seth Gallagher D Full Set - Full set made by Seth Gallagher in 2003. Ebony with brass & imitation ivory mounts. Chanter is fully keyed and well reeded. There is a tell-tale check in the imitation ivory reed cap, but other than that the chanter is absolutely perfect. The previous owner did have a section of the bass drone repaired several years ago by pipemaker C.J. Dixon who used cocobolo for some reason. Its a fine bit of work which has no effect at all on the sound. You can't even see it under the regs, but I did want to mention it. As to drones - 2 sets of reeds included in sale (1 cane - 1 synthetic). I like the the latter as they are a bit brighter to complement Seth's robust chanters. The bass reg is the traditional "straight" style, but Seth is making a Taylor style "wrap around" section which would be included as well as Seth's bronze regulator reeds. The L&M bag is oft played, supple (ok-Limp...s) but still in good nick. You will need a bellows as I play a Dow which I use for my other set.
    The reason for the sale is that I play a half set at sessions and I got a bit over zealous vis: regulators and later came to the realization that I'm never really going to use them to their full extent. Plus an opportunity has arisen to obtain a Froment set in C and (you guessed it) that costs plenty.
    In excellent condition,this is a top quality set the likes of which don't become available often and those of you looking at this advert (and I thank you) know what you're about. Seth's wait for a full set is three years minimum, at a cost of $7800 (w/o bellows), so this is an opportunity for serious bidders to get something unheard of in the UP world...that is: Instant Gratification! (s) at a reduced cost of $7000. US
    Buyer pays all shipping costs. Domestic (w/ proper insurance) is probably around $150-$200) I think I've covered everything, but I will update if anything comes to mind. Please feel free to ask any Q's and I will respond promptly. Thank you for looking.

    I have been playing this set for more than 3 years and never had any problem.The set is very good in all weather conditions.It nearly costs me to sell them but I got a full set from Seth Gallagher and my B full set from Andreas Rogge in on the way (cannot afford to keep all those instruments/have only two arms and it would be a shame to leave a set like this unplayed)
    The set can easily be carried in a small case as Bass drone can be splited in 3 parts.(very handy when travelling by plane)

  44. SOLD: Seth Gallagher D ¾ Set - I am selling my used 3/4 concert pitch set made by Seth Gallagher in September 2003. The set is playing well and is in fairly good condition. There are a few chips in the plastic mounts and the bass drone trumpet piece was broken and remade by Pipe Maker C.J. Dixon. He did a great job and as an experiment made the replacment piece out of cocobolo and the bass drone has a better sound and look.
    The Chanter is playing well but could use a new reed because it has been adjusted to cold Canadian Weather. Drones are working well and have both cane reeds and brass/plastic reeds for colder weather. The regs have the bronze reeds made by Seth and are well in tune. The pipes have been fitted with a brand new bag by C.J. Dixon in September 2006 but I will also included the original pipe bag with green velvet cover.
    The reason why I am selling is that I simply don't have the time or desire to put into the pipes anymore. Between my career, pipe band drumming, concertina, and other interests.... the pipe are way down the list and it can be weeks to a month without me playing a single note. not to mention that Ottawa is way too cold for pipes. I really want these pipes to find a god home.
    Seth is a good maker and makes a great instrument. His wait time is 2 and a half years and seems to keep going up. I am asking for $6500 american for these pipes or best offer considering the few chips in the plastic but I will not hold out for much less.

  45. SOLD: Hunterpipes Concert Pitch Chanter - 4 Keys, Ebony body with imitation ivory mounts and brass metalwork. Bought in March 2006, exquisite condition with tone to die for. I can't believe I am selling this chanter, but the times make it so. Main reason for selling is I am graduating college in a couple months and want to get a head start on paying off my loans as well as I have a B chanter on the way and B is the pitch I want to play in. These chanters currently go for 925 pounds new from Peter and Sam so I am looking to get something in that ballpark but am certainly willing to accept reasonable offers. The pictures here are from the Hunterpipes website and are of the very same chanter just after it was completed, the chanter has not sustained any damage and is like new. Included with the sale are 2 rolled copper staples that came from the makers. The chanter has recieved great reviews from all those whom have played it, which I made sure to do since this chanter is capable of way more than I am currently.
