Hello,
This is a long shot I know but…a nice chap visited my shop this morning with a very sorry situation. His brother who lived for Irish music and played whistles for many years had just bought some Uilleann Pipes and arghghgh…died before he got to play them. He is unable to find anyone locally who can throw any light on the make of the pipes, so obviously he doesn’t know what to sell them for. Please could you put the word around in the hopes somebody out there suddenly says…yupppp… he bought those pipes off me.. or something 
His name was Henry Triggs and he lived in North Wales. His brother thinks the pipes were bought
towards the end of last year.
Sadly, I don’t have any photos of the pipes to post as his brother was only visiting these parts whilst on holiday. I figured it’s just worth a go here to see if something comes to light via word of mouth.
With thanks…
could it be A. Ginsburg? North Wales I think
I’ve never that I recall heard of/come across a Henry Triggs. I’m not out to sessions much at present, but will try to remember to ask around among pipers I know when I get the chance. That won’t produce any quick answers, though, if any. There are (probably) plenty of players in N Wales whom I don’t know and have never heard of, amazingly enough. Just because the player lived in N Wales doesn’t mean his pipes were locally made, of course. I don’t think any of the pipers I do know play Ginsberg sets. It seems highly unlikely for ay decent modern maker not to mark his output somewhere - so (I only offer this as a possibility) if Mr Triggs wasn’t a serious player, just a dabbler, there’s a chance the pipes in question might be Pakistani in origin?
I think that, without direct examination or at least good photos of the pipes and without better information on their late owner (where he lived, who he played with etc.), we can’t say any more that’s worth saying.
Where are you based, bellowhedz? And perhaps, if he left you any contact info or is going to call again, you could direct the relative hither?
Edited for a spectacular typo. What eejit put “i” next to “o” on the keyboard?
Nah … not going to touch this … way too easy … must resist. 
Well, I suppose Popish Pakistani Pipes are conceivable. But Pakistani popes???
Oooops!
You sure (Admittedly, they don’t see the light of day that often!) ?
Henry Triggs - isn’t he the long lost great great nephew of James Kenna who took up pipemaking at the age of 93 after an unfortunate accident cut short his high-wire and trapeze act?
Seriously though, my bet is that they’re a Ginsberg set ( the names are close enough to be ‘lost in translation’).Picture would confirm it.
I think you should name your pipes, “Steve!”
