Hey all,
I am cleaning house and making room in my workshop/studio. I have the following piping-related items for sale. The only price I am firm on is for the Dixon bellows. Other items, please consider making a reasonable offer. I would prefer to sell several items together, so take a look at the list and see if anything interests you. PLEASE NOTE: I am going to set a minimum order $30 (including shipping) to justify the effort of running to the post office (and to cover paypal fees. Small box priority is $5.80 and a medium flat box is $12.35.) Also, if you buy a larger item and want some odds and ends, I could likely include those… Buyer to pay shipping. Please PM me for more info or offers. Thanks.
Bellows by CJ Dixon. Oak with black leather and brass. Double-padded. With connectors. Airtight and good condition. $200
Bellows valve. African blackwood made by Alec Smith (fine maker of smallpipes). 7/8” tenon, ½ “ deep with flapper valve. New. SOLD
Blowpipe with stock and flapper valve. Made by Alec Smith. Tie in 1.1”. Air opening on small end is 1/3” and outside diameter is ½”. ~6” long. Small. Made for smallpipes but would probably work for uilleann pipes.
Delrin blowpipe with flapper valve. No stock. .6” tenon, 1” outside diameter. SOLD
Blackwood blowpipe with flapper valve. No stock. Likely Pakistani made. .65” tenon. 1” outside diameter.

Home made vinyl bag with dark green cover, gold trim. Cut for half-set or bigger.
Home made vinly bag. Cut for half-set or bigger.
Dark green bag cover with gold trim. For half-set or bigger.
Bellows pad material. Very nice 5x20” piece of fur (leather –backed). I am not sure what it is. It is a rich, dark brown color. The fur is approximately ½’ long. Would make a very nice bellows pad (or 2!).
3 cord (black), 4 cord (light brown) and 6 cord (black) MRT waxed linen lacing chord. This is heavier than typical waxed hemp. Might be good for the first wrap on tenons.
Howard Low D whistle. I enlarged the F# and A holes so that I could uilleann pipe fingerings and play in tune. Currently has black tape on these holes to use regular whistle/flute fingerings (I finally learned to do both!).
Tipple Low B flat flute. White with separate right and left hand sections. Off-set holes, lip plate and wedge.
Various blowpipe tubes… SOLD
