Thanks PJ…Geoff’s thoughts also!! At the time of making, he had no totally seasoned boxwood to work with (a difficult medium anyway given its tendancy to bow in the early stages). I wanted a good working set…and I got a great result. The chanter blends beautifully with the drones/regs…I couldn’t ask for more… N
Just to be clear.. I’m selling the entire original boxwood set, including the original chanter, along with the newly made ebony replacement body…new reeds etc. The bellows that came with the set are also included..a self build by the previous owner and very sound. Also, a case/box to house the set. N
I’ve a bit of chit chat on video with Geoff, talking about playing this set at the WCSS, when it was brand new. Breandan Breathnach was listening, and asked…what is it? “Narrow bore concert pitch.” Breandan looked puzzled. “You know, the tone of a flat set, but in concert pitch.” Breandan was very pleased at this. “These other things, they’re Mini Warpipes!”
Looked at the old thread on this set, did it finally sell for 8.000 euros back then? I believe there is a three-quarter narrow bore D set made by Geoff somewhere in Sweden
