Full set of uilleann pipes in D by Alan Ginsberg in cocobolo, brass and imitation ivory. I bought it as a brand new instrument on ebay last year. The chanter has been re-reeded and trimmed by Andreas Rogge. For further information and pictures please visit www.kemmer-online.com/ginsberg.htm.
Price: 4300 EUR

The chanter has been … trimmed? The website says “optimised”. Wonder what that could be…
Sounds more like the reed, not the chanter.

It must have been important for them to have a video camera there to document it.
I believe that the chanter for this set is the one Rogge used for the reed making video recently put out by NPU, featuring Rogge, Wooff, O’Briain and Koehler.
You believe correctly…
“The chanter can be seen on the DVD “The Heart of The Instrument” by NPU. Andreas demonstrated the reedmaking process right on it.”
I don’t know much about the quality of Ginsberg pipes, but I certainly like the external look of them… very ‘classic’.
Cheers,
