Jerry O’Sullivan Benefit fund will be putting this Chanter up for auction on July 26th I will post the link at the time I post it. This Chanter has been donated by Ben and he will take calls from anyone wishing to inquire about it.
Here are some pics of the Jerry O’Sullivan Benefit Chanter taken on Benedict’s workbench, also a video of Benedict playing it. Get out and bid for this chanter - it’s amazing!!!

Paul, Thanks for the link and pictures.
Whip it, whip it good!
I don’t know, there just seems to be something inherently wrong with watching a video on the internet without a lot of moaning and … oops … wrong forum. Sorry 
djm
I hope that with this top, nobody will think it’s a penny chanter 
You only need to hear it to remove all doubt.
Great sounding chanter, great sounding player. One of these days it will be a real treat to hear BK in person. Has a bidding price been set yet?
The auction will start on the 26th Of July we are just giving everyone a heads up that such a fine instrument will be available very soon. I will post the link when the auction opens.

Of course, Joseph, read the friggin’ thread header!!!

Now come on Joe. Be nice to joe. Say you’re sorry!
Joseph, I’m awfully sorry.
It’s okay Joseph, really, don’t mention it.
Thanks Joseph, I really like you.
Let’s not go there Joe.
Uh, yeah, alright…thanks Joe.
You’re welcome Joe. Hey, you’d look mighty fine with an Ironwood chanter by BK, Joe.
Yeah, I’, gonna bid on it Joseph!
Not if I beat you to it Joe!!!
Say goodnight Joe…
“Goodnight Joe”… 
Fair play to BK for donating a chanter to a worthy cause and all the best to Jerry O’Sullivan. The bottom D sounds very off on the video though, probably a new reed that just needs adjusting
Now Thomas, what have I told you about speaking in public after smoking your craic pipe? 
PD.
No way, that bottom D is spot on at 293.7 Hz exactly…nothing even remotely flat there.
I’ve got to say, when Benedict played that for me live, it was so bleeping beautiful and crisp - this is a very special chanter folks.
“No way, that bottom D is spot on at 293.7 Hz exactly…nothing even remotely flat there.”
Hmm, well something sounds dodgy there to my ears. Doesn’t sound in tune with the other notes. Strange. I am the only one who hears this and dares to speak up. Doth I blaspheme perchance
Blasphemer! Burn him, BURN HIM!!!
