I have a chanter by Dave Williams that was made about 1990. It is made with African blackwood and imitation ivory. The chanter has a brass top and one brass Cnat key. There is a reed that is on the hard side to blow but you can soften up a reed to play through sanding, etc. Condition is excellent. The chanter is marked WILLIAMS above the B hole.
Asking price is $1200 or best offer.
Please contact me via PM for more information. Send me your e-mail too and I will send on pics.
I bought it, directly from Dave, through a friend who knew Dave well and plays a full set by Dave (I never did meet or speak with Dave over all the years). I had planned on putting it up for sale before we all heard the terrible news about Dave.
By the way, these things definitely do not ‘just fall into my hands’.
It’s by no pot luck or chance that Jim gets all these treasures… he knows all there is and eveyone there is to know in this scene…an bhfuil aon griangraffeana agat?
