Ohio native Tim Benson became interested in the uilleann pipes as a teenager. Involvement with the Ulster Project at that time exposed him to recordings of traditional Irish music, and spawned the beginning of a life long relationship with the pipes. Some of his earliest influences came through recordings of the Chieftains and of Joe McKenna. After attaining a practice set of pipes made by Michael Brennan of East Lake, OH, Tim received introductory lessons from Michael Kilbane through the Academy of Irish Music in Cleveland, OH. He later received more advanced tuition from piper Kieran O'Hare, and attended influential workshops at Scoil Acla in 2002 with Ciaran O'Malley andRobbie Hannan. He began teaching uilleann pipes at the Riley School ofIrish Music in Cincinnati, OH while attending college at Xavier University.
For several years Tim enjoyed performing at a wide array of venues around the mid-west, both independently and with Irishtraditional groups Silver Arm and with the Cleveland-based Portersharks. He recorded albums with both groups, and appeared on The Road to Riley, a recording of Riley School faculty.
Driven by a desire to acquire a deeper understanding of the instrument, Tim devoted himself to making uilleann pipesafter settling in Western New York in December 2006. Consequently he has rediscovered the simplicity, beauty, and mystique of the instrument. He is joinedin this venture by his partner Stephanie Cornelius, a fiddle player and mechanical engineer from Western New York, who provides design & fabrication support, and makes hand-stitched bags and bellows. Together they work to produce sets of all configurations in their shop located 30miles east of Buffalo.
Tim primarily works with the traditional turnery woodsassociated with bagpipe making, such as ebony, the rosewoods, and boxwood. Brass andnickel silver are employed for the metal work. He has a great appreciation for pipes made by classic makers such as Leo Rowsome and the Taylor brothers, and has been influenced greatly through the invaluable guidance of a few modern masters.
Pogány, Hungary - I was tought to make pipes by the greatest pipe makers in Hungary, for example Pól Gadányi. In the beginning I was making central-european instruments. Since 2000 I have been making other types of bagpipes as well, but I'm specialised in Uilleann Pipes. I started to make Uilleann Pipes 3 years ago.
Every set of pipes I make is made entirely to individual order which guarantees that your pipes are made personally for you and so are unique and special to you and your requirements.
My styles and methods have been developed and well-honed in over 30 years of pipe-making. I can therefore guarantee that every set of Pipes I make will be fully in tune and properly adjusted to all of the expected norms of playing.
If you go to my 'Uilleann' page you will find many pictures showing details of my Irish Uilleann Pipes and in addition several articles on Uilleann Pipes, the history of the Uilleann Pipes and advice on buying Uilleann Pipes.
If you visit my 'Links' page you will find links to a good variety of websites dedicated to both Uilleann Piping and Scottish Smallpipe interest. I hope you find what you are looking for on these pages and please feel free to contact me with any questions - ray@raysloan.comWebsite:www.RaySloan.com

Seth Gallagher D Full Set - I am currently wanting to sell my ebony/ brass Concert D pitch Seth Gallagher Pipes. I don't have much time to play them, or learn to play them, since I'm studying piano performance at the University. The set has been overhauled by Tim Benson, by the previous owner, and is in great condition, but has a few cosmetic issues, as seen in the pictures. Includes is a new MacHarg Bag, new valves, newbag/ bellow connector, and new tenor/ baritone reg reeds. The set is airtight, and the chanter has C and F keys. The two cosmetic issues are the tip of the baritone drone cap came off, and was epoxied back on, and there is some wear on the bottom of the main stock. A hardshell case will be included, along with a brand new chanter reed from Seth Gallagher. My asking price is 6,000$ USD OBO. I am not able to upload a video or audio file of the set being played, but I'm more than welcome to play the over the phone, or via skype. Thank you and feel free to ask any questions.

Dinny Quigley D Chanter - Dinny Quigley fully-keyed D chanter: African blackwood, brass keys & top, boxwood(?) mounts.
Dinny Quigley made this chanter for me in 2003. The reed was made by Michael Donovan in Los Angeles in 2007. This chanter served me very well until 2008, when I got my Rogge D chanter. I have been playing two full sets by Andreas Rogge (C and D) for a few years, so, except for a period where a pupil of mine used it, I have hardly touched it until now that I decided to finally sell it (I need the money). It is in very good condition. I played it for a few days and made a video sample last week(see below) , and as you can see and hear, it sounds great. It is very responsive and easy to play, and all four keys work well. It had slight tuning issues in the past, but if you know how to make a good rush you should be able to get it in tune, as demonstrated in the sample (I will send it with the rush inside). There is a tiny external scratch at the bottom mount that existed already when I received the chanter from Dinny.
I am asking 1250USD / 960Euro (OBO) + shipping & insurance (& customs if applicable).

Alan Ginsberg Bb Full Set - Full set in Bb by Alan Ginsberg, made in rosewood (probably Dalbergia decipularis), brass and (supposedly) mammoth ivory. Regulator cap ivories have cracks but are sound. Estimated to have been made c. 1985-90. I am selling for the present owner, who never learned to play it.
It has a removable bass regulator bar. The set was completely overhauled, including a new leather bag, shortened main-stock cup, keys re-padded and hemp re-wrapped. All corks were replaced or greased. The pipes are fully air-tight. The bellows have a slight leak but are fully functional. The brass was polished due to uneven corrosion. The set looks like new.
I made the chanter reed 12 years ago and it plays a bit sharp of Bb (typical of an 18" chanter), with great tone and is in tune with itself. The chanter has a wooden head and is fitted with the following keys (in D terms): Cnat., Bb, high D, high E and low Eb (ghost D). It is blocked for a Fnat. key.
I also made the drone reeds 12 years ago but they still need breaking in. The regulators need some tuning and reed adjustments. Comes with a wooden case made by Ginsberg.
There is a short video of the set being played on YouTube at my site: UncleTedleysPipes, and is titled Ginsberg B-flat Uilleann Pipes . A friend (who wishes anonymity) and I futzed with the reeds for a few minutes and I recorded him on his iPhone. He uploaded it, with his comments, on my site.

Makoto Nakatsui D Chanter - This chanter is in concert pitch and is made from ebony and Nickle Silver with the mounts made from boxwood. It has one Cnatural key. The workmanship in the chanter is superb. This is a really beautiful chanter with a beautiful tone very similar to that of chanters made by Leo Rowsome. The bore of the chanter is a Rowsome copy and has all the characteristics you'd expect from a Leo Rowsome style chanter. Reason for sale: Using funds to purchase a new flute.

Andreas Rogge B Full Set - I am offering for sale my full set of Andreas Rogge pipes pitched in B. I am the original owner of the set, and have had them since 1998. They were fully reeded by Allan Moller a couple of years ago with all cane reeds rather than composite, which give the drones a great buzz. The set is in full working condition and beautifully balanced.
The pipes are made of ebony, with imitation ivory mounts and nickel silver metal work. The chanter is fully keyed with a stop key. The set comes with a hard shell flight case, and a Cillian O Briain bellows (rather than the Rogge bellows).
I love this set, but I have recently had restored a 19th century set of C sharp pipes, so common sense must win out unfortunately.

Leo Rowsome D Full Set - I am thinking ( I said thinking) of selling my Leo Rowsome D set that I acquired in 1971. I have two other sets, in C and B, and just do not play the Rowsome D set. Why have a Rowsome copy when you can have the real thing. This set is 75 years old and in very good shape. I am asking $20,000 for the set. Expensive but you get what you pay for.
All the best,
Pat Sky
Here is the original story from my book "A Manual for the Irish Uilleann Pipoes" on aquiring the pipes:
In the summer of 1971 I was playing at the annual Philadelphia Folk Festival. I had just finished my evening concert and was making my usual rounds at the motel where all of the musicians were staying. There was every conceivable kind of party going on in the various rooms; music for every taste. I, of course, found my way to the "traditional music" party that was taking place in the room of the great singer and member of the Clancy Brothers, Lou Killen.
The party was going well, and I had just finished my umpteenth Powers' whiskey, when into the room came Joe Heaney. Joe is one of the finest Irish traditional singers in the world. Anyway, Joe said in a loud voice, "The world's greatest Uilleann piper is going to play a few tunes for you." That was how I met Liam Óg O'Flynn, the beginning of a wonderful friendship, and my introduction to REAL Irish music.
When Liam started to play I was stunned. I became choked with emotion and my eyes filled with tears. I had never in my musical career heard such a beautiful sound. I sat there for at least an hour--a most willing captive. The next day I told Liam that I had a series of concerts lined up across the country and that I would like for him to come with me and open each show. He agreed, and we were off on what turned out to be the most rewarding series of concerts in my career. Every place we played people went wild over Liam's playing. It was some time during this period that I decided that I had to learn to play the pipes.
Two months later I found a set of pipes in a bar in New York City. They were in good condition except for the reeds, which had long since died . They were made by the late, great pipemaker and piper, Leo Rowsome of Dublin. Realizing that if I was ever going to play the pipes I would have to go to Ireland for reeds, I set about making plans to return with Liam to his homeland. Once in Dublin, I was introduced to Dan Dowd who repaired my pipes and fitted reeds to my chanter and two of the drones.
Upon returning to America I discovered that the reeds had collapsed on the journey, and I was once again without reeds. However, Dan had told me that Tom Busby of New York was considered to be a very fine reedmaker. I went to see Tom, and he fitted my pipes with a good chanter reed. It was then that I realized that if I was ever to become a piper I would have to learn to make my own reeds. I asked Tom if he would show me how to make reeds, and he did. I proceeded to gather as much information as I could on reeds and how to make them. I got in touch with and went to see all the reedmakers I could. Six months later, after making well over two hundred reeds, I succeeded in fitting a good reed to my chanter and developed a method of reed making of my own. That year I wrote a little pamphlet entitled The Insane Art of Reed Making which I had printed at my own expense and either sold or gave away.
What a Pandora's box I had opened! I began receiving inquiries from all over the world requesting reeds, pipes, information and just plain correspondence. I decided that a book was needed, a work that would contain as much of the essential information about the subject of piping and pipe maintenance as I could offer.
I would like to extend my thanks to the following friends in helping me in this endeavor. First to Liam Óg O'Flynn who first got me started; to Seamus Ennis, my good friend and truly the greatest piper in the world; to Dan Dowd, Matt Kiernan, Tom Busby and Patrick Hennelly for teaching me what they knew about reeds; to Dr. Kenneth Goldstein for his encouragement and his library; to my American colleagues in piping, Tom Standeven, Dennis Brooks, Joe Shannon, Barry O'Neill, Bill Ochs and Dan Sullivan; to the great pipemakers Coyne, Talbot, Egan, Kenna, Kennedy and Rowsome, and those others unnamed who never signed their work; and finally to everyone in the world who loves Irish music.

Robbie Hughes and Peter Hunter D ½ Set - This is for a blackwood/ brass/ ivory and imitation ivory set.
First and foremost this is a player's set and is fully reeded, in good condition and sounds great. I will describe it below.
Only ever owned by me and made in 2 main stages as I developed as a piper and moved around.
The below/ bag/ mainstock and baritone drone were all made by Peter Hunter in Yorkshire- the brass is hand rolled and the mounts are real ivory on the drone with lovely grain. The bellows have boxwood details and an interference fit connection into the bag. These were approx 1996 and despite this age they are in good condition, airtight and should last for ages yet- well looked after!
The chanter, tenor and bass drone are all made by Robbie Hughes in Northern Ireland and the tenor is a replacement for the original Hunter tenor drone which I managed to break. The set looks good and feature blackwood/ brass/ imitation ivory. None of the mounts have aged/ yellowed.
The chanter has a wooden cap with a single C key and has blocks for full key additions. The reed is approx 1 year old and playing really well, fitted by Robbie Hughes himself. Good hard D on it and plays the full 2 octaves.
There is no damage I can see and the set is in really good condition and has been played regularly and kept indoors/ warm.
If you have any questions please ask me- my daughter is trying to get some YouTube sound/ vision sorted but there are some photos attached. I am looking for £2500 or equivalent (ie approx 3000 Euro or $4000). Consider current prices and waiting lists for respected makers and I think this is fair.
I am selling as I am moving progressively away from pipes and enjoy my banjo far more these days!!!

Robbie Hughes D Full Set -
Full set of uilleann pipes looking for a new owner. To good home only. Gets on well with concertinas and fiddles. Will make a great set if treated well.
Concert Pitch D full set - narrow bore. Maker: Robbie Hughes (Hughes & McLeod)
Chanter & Drones 1993
Tenor & Baritone Regulator 1994
Bass Regulator 2009
Bag, decentric stock cap and drone stop key: Cilian O'Brian 2011 Bellows: Andreas Rogge 2005
I have owned and played this set since it was made- there are no previous owners. I had it serviced regularly by accomplished pipesmakers (Andreas Rogge, Tom Aebi, Mickey Dunne, Cilian OBrien and also Robbie Hughes himself) so it is in great condition. Material: Blackwood and Brass Special Features: Chanter has a C-natural key and a second thumb hole for the F-natural. This is conveniantly covered by a rubber ring when not needed or I can get it permanently closed before sale if you like. I suggest you try it first, it opens very interesting possiblities (F-natural rolls etc.)
I had the stock shortened as it was originally made for giants. A new stock switch was put in which runs very smoothly. A decentric stock cap is allowing for a better position of the stock so the bag does not put pressure on the bass regulator and is hence avoiding the common issue of air leaking out between bass reg and stock.
This set is narrower than a standard concert pitch D bore. Robbie designed this to achieve a mellow sound, resembling the narrow bore flat sets. Many listeners have commented me on the beautyful sound of this instrument, and it is truly special. However, if you want a loud instrument that makes you stand out in a noisy session, this is maybe not for you. A lot depends on the reeds of course, and you can get a fairly loud sound with a strong reed. Condition: The overall condition is very good. It is comparatively easy to blow and everything works and functions well. I like the old look so I never polished the brass parts. There are a few scratches which is normal for set that old, but nothing major. The only defect is the plastic mounting of the bass and bariton drones where the drones meet the stock. These had to be filed on one side to allow for the new stop key to be mounted. Back then I put functionality over beauty. It's in a spot that cant be seen but it would be easy enough to make two new slimmer mountings if someone wants it. The bass reg was made only recently, but Robbie has done a great job and you dont notice any difference between the old and new regs. The bass reg keys are slightly smoother. The plastic mounts on the drones are made from a different material than the chanter and reg mounts. They have turned a bit more yellow over the years while the others remained more white. Reason for sale: I got a new instrument because I felt it was time for a change after nearly 20 years! I will be sad to part with this but I dont have the time to play two sets and an instrument should be played, not sit in a box. Asking Price: Im hoping for 5000USD but Im open to offers. It will go for the best bid Audio Sample: If you search for Antonia Dusa Wernig on youtube you will see a few videos where I play this set over the years.

B.C. Childress D Full Set - African blackwood, brass, imitation ivory, standard aesthetic appointments.
5 chanter keys: Stop key, F-natural, C-natural, A-sharp, G-sharp.
Aluminum shell case included.

The set is in near-perfect condition aside from normal brass tarnishing and a bit of finish wear on the stock.
It will be backed by the pipemaker ~ he has been very accessible and helpful to me. The tuning/tweaking is currently very good ~ Childress makes further adjustments if desired at no charge (except shipping). I can ship to you directly or first to Childress, who can then forward the set to you.

B.C. Childress D Full Set - A full set of uilleann pipes in 'D' made by B. C. Childress. An instrument I acquired about six months ago and have given a thorough restoration, however, I simply don't have the time to learn to play the pipes(I play hurdy-gurdy and flute) and so I am reluctantly putting the pipes back on the market.
The instrument comes with two chanters; one by Childress with four keys and a second single keyed chanter made by the Irish luthier Kevin Thompson. Both chanters are from African Blackwood and are supplied with their individual brass chanter tops and cut-off valves.
The drones and regulators are also turned from ABW with brass ferrules, keys and imitation ivory decoration. The bag has recently been replaced and the bag cover is new. The bellows is also new and in perfect condition. The instrument is supplied with a carrying case and a selection of reeds.
A couple of photos are attached. Any further questions please contact me.

Eugene Lambe D Full Set - This set was made for me by Eugene around 1987-88. It has a four key chanter and is made of African blackwood and brass with Eugene's typical imitation ivory mounts. It is a good playing set and I played them a lot, but once I got into making my own pipes they became redundant, and have been sitting for several years.
I swore I would never sell them, but now I feel that it's time to get them into the hands of someone who will play them.
The set is in very good condition aside from needing a good cleaning. There is a good reed in the chanter, but currently they lack drone or regulator reeds. The set is tied into a MacHarg bag, and the bellows are stanch. The bass drone turn has a dent where it once got dropped, but it has no effect on the drone's operation. There is currently no case.
I would accept $4500.00 for them as is, or $5500.00 would allow me to reed them up and get them playing well.

It's a wonderful instrument ! Alain Froment gave one of his own chanter to the lads, and they drilled theirs on his model. It sounds great and I never had any problem with the reed or with the tuning. It is very reliable.
Actually, I am so pleased by this instrument, that I own another chanter by Arpha that I keep for my own.
I'm selling it because I ordered a full set from Gallagher about three years ago, as I wanted to upgrade my set, and Arhpa had been unreachable for some time, because of restructuring their business (they are called Arpa now, and are back in the business).
As you can see, there is only a little ending-ferrule on the bass drone that has broken (I still got it, it isn't lost). It is a sort of cap, and it can be replaced (must ask to the lads).
The main stock also have a few thin scratches, because of playing time, but honestly, it is nothing and I even think a steal cleaning product should erase them.
The bag and the blowpipe both have a black velvet cover, that I have not put for the photos (I don't like to play with the cover anyway), but I got it, and I sell it with the whole. The case is also included. Here are some pictures of it, as it was when I received it: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8444/7910372486_e16643532c_n.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8034/7910393564_878bb62d32_n.jpg

I sell those pipes for 3900€ (~5000 $US). Their original value was 4500€ (~5850 $US). I am open to discuss on the price.
I am currently in New Caledonia, otherwise, I am from Brittany.

Geoff Wooff Full D Set - This set was made for me in 1987 while Geoff was living in Australia. It has a narrow bore D chanter and is great sounding. Made from ebony, nickel sliver and imitation ivory', just had a new leather bag fitted, completely airtight, as well as all regulator keys. All reeds are original Wooff "A few years ago while I was still living in Ireland, from time to time i would take my pipes down for Geoff to check over them" that's how the reeds have been kept in working order. Chanter has 4 keys plus the air-stop key.
These pipes have been played and have been kept in good working order, as I do play the uilleann pipes myself. I'm selling them as I no longer need them, due to having another set of pipes and flute, I don't have the time to play this set anymore.
This is a great opportunity, to beat Geoff Wooff's waiting list. As I last spoke to him and he had a number of people on a waiting list.
As it was a well played working set,There is some minor wear and tear.

Ray Sloan Full Set + Extras I'm selling a new set of uilleann pipes made by Ray sloan.
Details as follows:

Materials: African blackwood, imitation Ivory, nickel silver.
Chanter: fully keyed (F nat, G Sharp, B Flat, C Nat and stop key)
Drones: Bass, Baritone and tenor.
Regulators: Bass, Baritone and Tenor with tear drop key design.
Bag: covered irish green.
Bellows: with pads for comfort.

DVD's: The heart of the instrument 2 dvd set, Pipers choice 1 and 2, Volumes 1, 2 and 4 of the uilleann pipe tutorial series (for teaching someone else), Planxty 2004.
The reason I'm selling to be truthful is not due to looking for another set as posted on another forum. I've had an accident which has caused weakness on the right hand side of my body which means playing a set is difficult and rather painful. and now makes a few things more difficult as a blind young person with a white cane. so am selling up.
These pipes are 1 month old so are as new only played twice at home in a smoke / pet, etc free environment.
The pipes were over £6600 new plus delivery, etc. with extras separate in total worth £6900
I'm looking basically to recover some of the money so am selling at £5700 or near offer.
I will deliver if necessary at extra cost however due to the weight of the set with the case and extras it would be a little difficult traveling by train, etc.
Ideally buyer to collect. Due to weight, international shipping will not be possible due to expense of insurance and weight costs. Please note I will only accept interest from interested parties within the UK and Ireland who are willing to collect.

Nearly new bellows and two bags from CJ Dixon; the spare bag enables the set to be easily used as a practice set if required due to space constraints. Condition
In generally excellent condition, very few use marks and some nice patina on the brass work. A really lovely set of pipes with excellent workmanship and great playability. Issues
One of the bass regulator keys needs re padding to be 100% reliable. One of the chanter keys is a little sluggish. Materials
Red Lancewood, brass and imitation ivory Reason for sale
I use them insufficiently to warrant keeping them, though a very reluctant sale as they are a fantastic instrument.

Perry-Wilkinson (1806) Violin - The fiddle is a Perry-Wilkinson, Dublin, dated 1806. It's in great condition and has recently been appraised for $9,000-$10,000. It has a lovely neck, which is original, and rosewood pegs. It's the fiddle I recorded my album "An Bhábóg sa Bhádóg" with, and has only gotten better with age. It's been described to me as a great baroque-style fiddle.
About Thomas Perry
Thomas Perry was a famous craftsman of violins and other musical instruments in Dublin from 1767-1827. Originally from Kilkenny, Perry was the greatest of all Irish violin makers and crafted many of Europe's finest violins during the 18th century. It is noted that the violin craftsman Richard Tobin of London studied under Thomas Perry in Dublin as a pupil. Perry Violins are of such high regard that they are often compared with other famous violins such as the Stradivarius. In 1820, Perry went in partnership with William Wilkinson in Dublin for roughly 10 to 15 years and the firm is noted as Perry & Wilkinson thereafter.
