A chance to buy this set of drones in person; I am bringing them with me to the Piper’s Gathering and will have them priced at $1500. Also bringing a quantity of drone cane, all sizes, for sale cheap. Look for a notice on the bulletin boards at the Gathering!
FOR SALE: set of uilleann pipes drones in the key of D. Timmy Britton drones made of rosewood and brass. These are his deluxe drones, including a separate fourth A drone with its own shut-off switch. Both the baritone and bass drones have turned-back brass tubing slides which allow fine tuning, and wooden caps. All four reeds are his hardwood dowel type, very stable throughout the year in all weather conditions, very easy to tune. Will also include original cane drone reeds in D, and a set I made which play in C in these same drones. Hollow mainstock of cherry wood, drilled for two regulators (plugged) is 60 cm (2 3/8 inches) diameter and 29 cm (1 1/8 inches) long where it inserts into the stock cup (INCLUDED).
Tim’s sets are beautiful, with fine craftsmanship in the turning, and both traditional (A drone) and innovative (dowel reeds). If anyone wants the full history of this set of drones, I can provide details, contact Jim Van Fleet vanfleet@bucknell.edu (570) 966-3308 home (570) 577-3235 work. Pictures of the pipes at:
