Hi all…I have put together a very nice practice set comprised
of my concert pitch chanter from Kirk Lynch and my Mike Dow
bellows.
The chanter is in great condition with 2 keys ( C and F )
in brass with brass top. Original Lynch reed playing very nicely.
My Dow bellows is like new ( as I use my Rogge bellows exclusively )
all put together with an L&M bag.
Everything is in great condition.
I’d like $1950 but will consider a Sensible offer.
Drop me a line at Eirepiper@gmail.com
I’ll get some photos up.
Thanks,
Seamus
ps…I have gotten several inquiries as to why I am selling (Sorry..didn’t think it important enough to mention, but…)
I need a new Fetzer valve for my cold fusion reactor…no …wait…I already got that!
Seriously…I have some top class gear that I’m not using and it would go to better use being played. Plus I can always use the dough for more piping gear. Thanks for looking
Actually no, Christian. It’s perfectly reasonable to want to know, and as long as you’re not posting in the UIE forum, it’s OK to ask in public or private. It’s also entirely up to the seller if they want to answer or not.
If he wants to sell me the set, I’d like to know why he is selling… does it play well, it is it hard to reed, is there anything special I should know or is he just divesting? All valid questions and if stated up front, remove the need for me to ask.
Concerning sales, we at ChiffCo® like to trust that all members who sell will be good for further pertinent info upon request. Neither request nor info need to be given publicly, but there’s no invasion of privacy - and it’s better - if they are, this being a moment of public market. Yes, the form “Why are you selling?” is open-ended, but you guys can keep each other on track. Just my unofficial 2¢.
I wasn’t meaning to be hard on Seamie in any way, the reply was in response to Christian Ro, who said it was none of my business. But I disagree (especially if I were thinking about spending a good chunk of money on it), and I was just explaining why. it is interesting to me to know why someone is selling their set; do you no longer play? have you switched to a different maker (and why)? were there problems with this chanter (and what)? is it an older model or a newer one (are you trading up to new model)? that kind of thing. And no Seamie, you don’t have to answer those, they are hypotheticals… but, these are the kind of questions that I think anyone considering buying a used chanter would want to know and should ask. due diligence, caveat emptor, you know. Honest inquiries if you ask me.
But… I happen to know for a fact that Kirk makes great chanters, not sure why anyone would want to sell one, so it interests me… call me nosy.
Please,please, please read my amended advert about my reason for selling.
I also sent you a PM with the same info. All I’m trying to do is sell a nice practice set- nothing more!
Thank you
Seamus
dude, I did read it and appreciate that you amended the original post, but I wanted to explain to CHRISTIAN RO, why I asked in the first place, since he said it was none of my business. Lighten up Francis, no one out to get you here man.
