Hi folks. Just a quick note to any beginners, or people who know beginners who want a practice set. I have B and D practice sets available, built around two of my own chanters that I have weeded out. See http://www.hunterpipes.co.uk/ForSale.html for details. Any questions don’t hesitate to contact me.
EDIT - The B set is now sold, to someone starting out on the pipes near Manchester.
Cheers.
What an exciting opportunity! These are gonna go very quickly…
Tempting, very tempting …
Agreed… but timing for me isn’t right.
Great Stuff, Sam!
boy I like the sound of that B…
I feel I should point out that the tone and especially the tuning of that cocobolo B is not what I’d consider 1st rate these days. Hence why I think that it’s great for a beginner - and why there’s a bag and bellows with them rather than just selling the chanters.
Oh and by the way I’ve sorted out the G# key spring on the concert chanter, and bent the high D key on the B chanter further away from the RH fingers. Going to voice the concert chanter C# and B up a bit too.
B set now sold.
What is ‘Sri Lankan’ ebony? It doesn’t look like any ebony I’ve ever seen. More like a blackwood?
Sri Lankan ebony is simply Ebony from Sri Lanka. It is now unobtainable, and was indeed very dark and dense. Very different tone to Af blackwood though.
The concert set is also now sold.
