- 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.

- Des Seery Fully Keyed D Chanter - Des Seery full keyed D Chanter - This is a Seery chanter in ebony with 4 keys, wide bore and holes, with stainless steel and fake ivory mounts and brass plated keywork. It is in very good condition and it?s Rowsome copy. I have been playing it mainly at home. This chanter is high quality although Seery is more famous as a flutemaker. This chanter has got a power response and the tuning is excellent. It has been reeded by the own pipe maker and the three reeds work properly. I am selling this chanter due to financial difficulties in the launching of my new own office, it is the best chanter I have. The pictures are not in high quality but I can send new ones on request. I'm selling the chanter to help me to pay for my new regulators. I'm asking about €1,000 for it or best offer.

- Alan Ginsberg 'D' Full Set - This is a full set in 'D' made by Alan Ginsberg of Caernafon, Wales, thought of by many as one of the best pipe-makers in the world. The set is blackwood with brass keys and fittings and alternative ivory ferrules and finals. The D chanter has four keys. I purchased this set from Mr. Ginsberg two years ago and never really had time to learn to play. Consequently this set is essentially new. As it happened at the time, I made several inquiries about purchasing pipes from makers and though usually there is a one year plus waiting time from ordering, I was told that this set was coming out of the shop in about two weeks and the person who had ordered them backed out. The one unusual feature of this set is that it came with an artificial bag (that's the way it had been ordered, so that's what I got) which is completely airtight and doesn't require any sort of curing or care, but the purests amoung you would probably want to replace that with a traditional bag that I'm sure can be obtained from Mr. Ginsberg
Financial difficulties force the sale of this fine set before I had a chance to play them. As I said, this is essentially a new set only played twice and is in need of a good home. Along with the set of pipes I include a spool of hemp, a cake of beeswax, a leather square for stopping the chanter on your thigh, a copy of "The new approach to Uillean Piping" by H.J. Clarke and a hard-shell case (formerly a generic tenor sax case in which the set travels quite nicely). The current price for such a set (and of course there would be that waiting period) is £3,700 GBP or about $6,500 U.S.
