Benson & Cornelius Uilleann Pipes - 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.
Richard L. Patkós, 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.
Derrick is a member of the legendary family that owned and operated the famed Gleeson's of Coor pub. For many years he apprenticed to Geoff Wooff. He is now making pipes in his own name to rave reviews.
Modeled after a Geoff Wooff C set, manufactured in solid walnut, and painted with a rich, warm-toned finish, these hand-carved uilleann pipe carvings are the perfect gift for the piper who has everything.
Dimensions:
Large carving = 23.5" x 9" x .75"
Small carving = 15.5" x 6" x .5"
Pricing:
Large carving = $250.00
Small carving = $175.00
+plus S&H (approx. $15 domestic)

Tim Benson D Full Set - Mostly – Benson mainstock, drones, regulators, leather pipe bag, and heavy duty pipe case.
Set was made in 2008 of ebony, boxwood, and brass with cherry mainstock.
Features tear drop style regulator keys, tapered drone slide ferrules, tenon and socket bass drone U joints, hollow bass drone resonator (puck), and bent (Tayloresque) bass regulator bar.
This is a very nice set to play and is ideal for a piper looking to upgrade their practice set to a full set. It is also a good opportunity for those pipers that are looking for a Benson full set and not having to wait years to get one.
Upon sale of these pipes, I will be sending them to Tim's shop (express post) for tuning and a spring replacement. Tim will work on them right away and should have them ready a week after receiving them. The shipping and insurance to Tim's shop will be covered by me. Buyer will just have to pay for shipping and insurance from the shop to their location.
Pipes come with spruce reg reeds, some cane reeds, one bronze reed and plenty of drone reeds of all sorts.
I love this set of bagpipes and sad to let them go. I grew a strong relationship with Tim over the years and recommend his pipes to anyone looking for a set of pipes that will last a lifetime.
I have a narrow bore D full set coming to me shortly and I have no need for owning 2 concert sets. This is the only reason why I am selling them. Please log onto Tim's website for an audio sample of me playing these pipes and more pictures. Tim can provide more audio if needed.

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.

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.

A selection of CD's to listen to including Davy Spillane, Liam O'Flynn and some others
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.

Lorcan Dunne Deluxe D ½ Set Lorcan Dunne Deluxe Half Set in D, in Ebony and German Silver. Chanter has two keys, F-nat and C-nat, and comes with a stop key. Chanter plays great, and the drones are haunting. Everyone that hears them says they are phenomenal. Set comes with Bass Regulator Bar pre-attached. Chanter comes with two brand new reeds from Joe Kennedy, just got them the week of December 25th. The drones come with synthetic Bruce Childress drones reeds which are rock solid. Set also comes with a lockable hard case. Set also comes with scrap leather and spare tying in twine. The set is very fun to play. The bag that is tied onto the set is a special custom MacHarg bag, made to the regular measurements, but the leather is much thicker, but still very pliable. Much better than a thinner leather bag. Condition: The set has a chipped mount on the Baritone drone, and the mainstock has the engraving of the 1st owners name on it: "Made for Zachary Abbott, by Lorcan Dunne, Kenmare" the engraving is very small and you can barely see it. I am the 2nd owner. I am willing to sell my set piecemeal. Additional pictures available here.

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.
