Cooool! Would love to hear how that goes.
Looks like Seth Gallagher’s work to me. Nice…

3,500 Euros … that’s the highest asking price I’ve seen for a practice set.
If the set is 20 years old, the leather bag and bellows gusset might need to be checked. 20 years is a long time for leather to stay airtight (and glue to stay sticky).

The seller doesn’t say what kind of chanter it is, but it looks like my Crossan chanter.

Looks like Uilleann Pipe Works of Boston. They made composite chanters.

Daye D chanter

I wonder if Ferris will complain about me posting these ebay items ![]()
Wooff full set in D with wide and narrow bore chanters
David
Well as I’m not after buying them, I’m not bothered. I don’t reckon they will sell to anyone from this forum anyway. I’d much rather swap them and my dipper for a fairly recent wooff C# set. I’m offering a good deal, 3 wooff chanters, drones, regs, bellows(all wooff) and a unique Dipper concertina worth about £7000 for a recent wooff C# set in good working order.
By my reckoning, that’s about £26,000 worth
Anyone tempted?
Is the Wooff B chanter part of the Wooff B practice set which was sold on eBay a month ago?
Hi PJ
Seems to be, you would have to ask Ferris to be sure. I am surprised there are no bids on it
I am also surprised that no one has bid on the Maloney full set.
David
The seller of the “Maloney” set doesn’t say who made it, just that he bought it from JJ Maloney. I’ve not heard of JJ Maloney before. Does anyone have information on him?
There was a pipemaker called Moloney/Malony in Sheffield during the eighties. He died late eighties/early nineties. A friend took Geoff Wooff and myself to visit him around 1988 or so and it was him who gave Geoff the idea to use high density foam as keypads. Unfortunately his first name escapes me. I do remember he was a nice man who had at least one lovely daughter who made great coffee and was a photographer who could discuss the ins and outs of a Linhoff over aforementioned coffee.
Sheffield would seem near enough to the present location of the pipes for sale.
