Uilleann Pipes
1

Hi everybody

What could you say me about Eamonn Duignan’s uilleann pipes from Killarney, Ireland? (I know a guy that sells his Duignan half set). Somebody knows his pipes?

Thanks

Is there an Eamonn Duignan pipemaker from Killarney?,I personally have not heard of him.
There is an Eoin Duignan ,a piper from Dingle who plays a rowsome set with thanks to the travelling community for their return !!!

RORY

Yes, I know Eoin Duignan. I have not heard about pipe maker Eamonn Duignan… :confused: maybe a paki-fake?
I’m waiting for a couple of photos and we’ll see a Duignan half set

Couldn’t be Eoin. He lives in Dingle and has a hard enough time keeping his Rowsome set together, let alone make new pipes…He leaves that bit to his pal Cillian.

Here’s some photos about “Eamonn Duignan” uilleann pipes:
What do you think about it? Seems to be a good half set or a cheap one?
Thank you all for your supports! :really:

These have a look of reworked pakistani pipes about them.

Not very professionally made IMHO - just look at the way the tenor drone comes out of the mainstock.

There are makers nearer to you in Spain and France so please check your PM’s

Edited to add

Have just had another look at photos and they are definately Pakistani made - the giant drone stop switch on the main stock mades it a certainty - run away fast :smiley:

Read the thread on Pakistani pipes if in any doubt

Yes, this big handle on the mainstock seems to be a typical Paki drone stop switch. Maybe I must still playing on my Gallagher practice set for a while :smiley:
Thank you all. This forum is really the piper’s ABC!
