I met a new piping student here in Nashville today. He had a practice set that he had purchased on eBay that was reportedly new. The chanter was by Childress and stamped 1994…and the reed is trash. This is just to remind those “moving pipes” to be honest and up front about what you are selling.
..so why post that rubbish here?
man, that’s like crying because the creepy used saleman LIED about the used
Yugo he sold you…
I would say that a 1994 chanter is pretty new.. It’s only 11 years old (not even a teenager yet).
Thanks for the heads-up. When you buy on eBay, you take your chances. At least it seems he got a real Childress chanter. BC charges $70 for new chanter reeds. So it could have been much worse.
The buyer should make sure to leave negative feedback. It’s the best way to discourage that sort of thing from happening again.
..so why post that rubbish here?
duh…I dunno…stick around and you’ll learn a few things.
“As New” would have been a better estimation of its age, assuming it is in as new condition.
Patrick.
My favorite Judge Judy (TV judge) episode is where a guy had sold a water bed to a private party as ‘new’. It turns out that he had bought it used and defended his position of representing it as new by claiming that it had been ‘new to him’.
could’nt have said it better myself 
Was his name “Marty McFly”?
