Or friend of the Geoffry half set and his own chanter is back again. This time the chanter looks like his own make.


David

Mmmmh, looks like there’s something missing at the end of the chanter - shouldn’t there be a ferrule?

He just has the chanter top off. Wow that much for those pipes? Surely no one will purchase them…

Sales pitch from Ebay

There are a lot of visitors to this page and a lot of watchers.
You will not get a set of pipes in this condition anywhere for this ridiculous price.
So stop watching and bid before the item closes.

I’ve seen that - the bottom end of the chanter I mean - there’s the ivory mount and then - nothing?

Taylor style could it be???

This same item was on eBay sometime last year and if memory serves it was sold. The seller has even used the same photo as appeared in last year’s auction.

The item description mentions that it’s been in the seller’s family for a long time. Did last year’s eBay auction fall through?

I am NOT saying that this auction is bogus but if I were to bid on it, I’d want to clear this up with the seller. If the seller is a member of the forum, it might be a good idea to clear up any doubt.

The auction is definately bogus and the set in question is in the U.K. and is not for sale

The Chanter and Regulators are Taylor with drones and main stock White

It is elephant ivory not palm tagua nut

I am not the owner
