Looks like a beauty!
Good luck,

Aaaaarrgghhh - If only I had the money… I have the perfect chanter to go with that set…
Anyone wants to buy an Angus Bb set and a set of Roberts drones and an ibook computer and a hardly used mother-in-law and a kidney and… and… and…

I feel your pain sir! 
Any idea whatkind summ of money we are talking about with this set…
Come on Mikko … what is money after all: just some value-added stuff, which people trade goods for. But it’s nice to see that you’re actively thinking about a nice wedding gift for me! You still have 3 weeks or so to think of something as nice for Jeannette. Maybe some GHP ?!? 
But seriously: isn’t your full-set ordered ?!?

This sounds like Sylvain Barou’s rig that was made in the late 1980’s that he sold in March 2005? Looks like a very nice instrument. The price on the uilleann list says “approx $9500 USD”.
I so want this set…
But I am young, so I must put the money into retirement so I can someday buy fancy overpriced sets by big name pipemakers to play with my arthritic fingers.

I will sell without the Hillmann chanter too, so the price for the Williams body is EUR 7,500 or the dollar equivalent.

This sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime. Beautiful set there. If I was into D sets I’d snap it up in a minute…might anyway in a couple months if it hasn’t sold yet. I’m curious why we sometimes see William’s sets being played with another maker’s chanter.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to examine many sets of pipes in situ. I have no clues on how or why pieces and parts gets moved around but it happens a lot. The Rowsome set on eBAY was missing its chanter, for instance.
I’d snap it up in a flash as well, but a D fullset is on its way to me eventually, and the cash I spent on it has left me destitute. I won’t be able to make it up to the GNIPC tionol this year, and that has me bummed out big time…sigh
If you sold your pipes, you could afford to attend all of the tionols!
Just added a load more photos of this set… [drool]
Patrick.
That’s a brilliant idea! Why didn’t I think of it?
Lovely set … ah, it’s nice to dream …
If this is Sylvain’s old set, then regarding the original Williams chanter Sylvain wrote that he sent the chanter to England at some point and that it got smashed in transit on the way back to France. Sylvain used a Tom Aebi chanter with the set thereafter. Tom is better know these days as a very good flute maker, but he did spend some years with Andreas Rogge learning to make pipes.
The pipes are now sold. Thanks for your interest
