Charles Roberts Concert Pitch Practice Set

Made in the summer of 1995, in great condition with a new reed by Benedict Koehler which really sings. Comes with an extra reed by John Pederson. Made in African Blackwood with brass and imitation ivory fitted with a high C-natural key. Real hand-sewn leather bag with green velvet bag cover. Ba has drone stock cup tied in for later addition of drones as this set was originally supposed to be a half set but the drones were canclled by the original owner. Fitted the bellows pads myself and they work great. Selling the set to pay for a new chanter from Peter Hunter’s shop. Great set for someone who’s starting up and needs a relatively inexpensive practice set. Easy to play and sounds great.

asking price: $700 plus shipping

Anyone interested can email me at mdesmidt@ucsc.edu

Also, I’ll be in Seattle at the tionol. So if anyone’s interested or wants to play it, etc., I’d be more than willing to oblige.

Thanks, here are some photos of the set.

Damn good price, if you ask me.

Yeah, the lad who sold it to me gave it to me for a really great price and I know there are those out there who’d like a nice set to start on but can’t afford it. So that’s my reasoning.
