Uilleann practice sets for restoration - One marked O’Dowd, the other with no marks.
David
cool stuff!!
Childress stock, drone and regs.
Childress/Dixon/Daye practice set.
Both appear to be from the same seller.
I should perhaps point out that the Chris Bayley C Practice Set is in fact one that Chris sent up to me to use as a pattern in my own making, rather than a set which he is selling. Now that I am getting up to speed with flat chanters this one can be sold.
this double chanter is back again:
I’d love to have a go!
Tadgh Crowley 3/4 set
David
That Crowley 3/4 set is handsome. I don’t know for the older sets, but the BuyItNow price seems a bit low for a 3/4 set of virtually any make or vintage, especially one that’s working. As much as I don’t want to queer the deal (maybe even for myself!) … anyone care to conjecture?
Is it a scam?
I remember reading the same blurb the last time this set was sold, same picture and same descripction?
Not positive but I would watch it and check closely before sending any money.
Nearly positive its a scam you can buy a Marc Chagall from thie same seller for the same buy it now?
Why is the buy it now not listed so you can use the feature of the site?
edit:
previous scam attempt in this thread

THANK YOU. That seemed just nuts. Must learn to operate search function better!!! I owe ya a pint. 
Just now went to look again with the very vague idea about reporting it to ebay, and whoosh, it’s gone. “No longer available.”
Mysterious!
Just saw these postings. It seems the eBay posting has been deleted, but from the description it seems clear that it is a scam re-posting of a set of pipes I sold on eBay about 3 years ago. Photos are on Pat D’Arcy’s site, and whoever the scammer is seems to reuse the pics I took, which is a dead give away for a scam.
For the record, the pipes were sold to a buyer is Australia. So a sale of these pipes emanating from anywhere but that country is to be questioned.

Scary stuff. Thank you for the update. They sure are lovely … I admit, I got kind of wound up about them for a bit, there!
So do you imagine there’s some kind of cottage industry where people just cache and then pore over old ebay listings and go “hmmm, probably about time to run that Crowley uilleann pipes listing up the flagpole again”?
That’s just … 
!!! How do people keep track of it all? Is it worth it? Makes me wonder how you’re supposed to know anything on ebay is real anymore.
Anyway, thanks so much to you both for saving this prospective sucker. Once again, “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.”
Hi Cathy
Maybe you would like this Bayley half set in C - McGregor barrel style drones a little better.
David
Well…
I’ve just had a play around with Chris’ ‘C’ shuttle set and after adjusting the drone reeds and layette tuning it now plays reliably in tune in D with one of Chris’ chanters. Incredulity is expected, but I will try and record a couple of sound clips to prove it.
It begs the question though; if it will tune UP to D - a whole tone from C - would it tune down a mere half-tone to B???
More later.
Thanks, Davy! But actually, as much as I would like to get some nice C drones, I must stick to the task … it’s after some concert pitch regulator action I am, I am.
Plunging deeper into the abyss … 
Thanks again !
