I recently recieved a pre-owned 1/2 set by Kirk Lynch.
It is, without a doubt, the lovliest sounding/playing thing I’ve ever experienced. I was starting to wonder if I wanted to be an Uilleann piper. I ain’t wonderin’ any more!
Kudos to Kirk.

It’ll be for sale by next Tuesday
Tueseday?! Snort…harumph…I’ll bet I make it passed Thursday easy! 
Doc
You sell those suckers, I’ll personally come and set fire to my Cotter on your lawn…I’m STILL having seller’s remorse about those pipes…those drones are to die for.
Dave
Just kidding Pat… I’d never hurt the Cotter. Loren would crack my skull…he’s already told me that.
love love love!
Dave
Not to worry David,
I’m bonding in a big way. The drones really are wonderful.
Besides, it would be the height of folly to sell a set of pipes the Mrs. actually likes.
Doc
Indeed it would. Anything that improves the “wife faction” standing should be kept around.
Wait, I thought you improved the “wife action” like you improve the action on a reed…tighten the bridle.
Anywho, back to the pipes!
A-ha!! Caught in the act!!! 
Hmmmmmmmmmm… 
BUSTED!!!
Oh well, he made it past thursday at least.

Youse are a hard lot, and no doubt about it. Remind me never to post my New Year’s resolutions here!
Best Set Ever! I’ll Never Sell!
Yours for only $2500

At the Pipers’ Gathering last August, BC Childress had a beautiful B set in Kingwood. Here’s a photo of it:
The chanter (bottom right) was in ABW as, according to BC, the Kingwood was difficult to work with. Pity, as it’s a gorgeous looking wood.
I resolve to be less romantic, and more of a classicist. 
(musically speaking, of course!) 
Yeah, great BChildress set.. I heard him playing it too.
The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.
frae EBay… guess Doc was just havin a bad day wot wi xmas coming up etc…

I had a moment last week where I very nearly became rational and gave up piping for more responsible pursuits. 
Not to worry, the feeling passed.
When you put something on eBay and get strong waves of nausea I guess that means you’re not ready to sell…just couldn’t do it.
Just found this thread this morning. I had no idea my piping career was of such interest. Maybe I should write a book.
Doc
it was yersel that started it
Uilliam
Oh, it is. If you quit, it’s curtains for us all! 
Correction:
I didn’t realize it had been resurrected until this morning.
I’ve been daily shipping 15 or so flutes, answering 50 or 60 emails and talking to 3 or four spouses that have no idea what they want for their musical mates for Christmas. Oh, and then there’s my veterinary practice…
The worst of it is I’m trying desperately to die of a head cold and having no luck whatsoever.
PJ, when I write my book you can write the forward.
