Interesting Website/ebay auction

So… Whilst surfing ebay I saw what looked like a real set being auctioned.

Than I opened the thing up. haha. It’s interesting. He says he will make you a set, but that’s too expensive, so people should order a good Paki set from him. He cites Geoffrey as a reputable maker.

check it out its good for a few laughs :laughing:

:open_mouth: Follow the link off the ebay page to the youtube videos. All I can say is :open_mouth:

The sad thing is that this site is under the makers directory of NPU.

How can that happen? Can someone get them to remove it, or at least add a disclaimer?

So low D to B’ is two octaves now, is it? Well, that’s inflation for you - I blame the euro, hrumph hrumph … In one of the videos he does play the chanter as it was intended - mouth blown :laughing:

Hilarious (though perhaps … just perhaps … unintentionally so …) :tomato:

Why are you wasting your time leaving comments here when you can leave comments on irishpipemaker’s YouTube pages:
