Why wouldn’t you want to copy it? It’s an iconic set, which is, IMHO, up there with the O’Flynn/Reid/Rowsome set, and the Ennis/Coyne set. Certainly the latter has been copied. The fact that it may be sharp of modern concert pitch is important, but most current makers base their designs on LR’s work, but allow themself certain “improvements” to correct tuning issues. Alain Froment’s D sets have many of the external features of Leo’s set (mounts, chanter top, etc.). PJ

A misunderstanding here apparently. I assumed PJ that you wondered why no one has made, or plans to make, an exact copy/replica of Leo’s set that included even the chanter length and internal bore measurements. But I see you mean just copy the external design/features of Leo’s chanter, regulators, drones, and stock.
