Yes you are.
And I’m taking my own advice… “Seek first to understand”… and reading the posts wouldn’t hurt, either.
In '76 I visited with Sean Reid and he gave me a copy of a meticulously measured drawing he had made of the chanter made for him by Rowsome, which has strongly influenced my own chanter design. He said that he had given that set to Liam on “permanent loan”. He also said that he had requested that Leo make the pipes to “sound like a flat set.” He never mentioned Clancy owning it. As you know, Clancy’s concert set was a Taylor. Incidently, Sean played the drones for Clancy on a few of his recordings issued on 78 such as The Old Bush, etc.
Welcome to the forum Tim. Try the house salad, I hear it’s good. 
Clancy didn’t own it, he had it on loan like others had it. Clancy during his lifetime had many different sets and unfortunately he rarely had one going well, he used the Taylor during the last years of his life.
Sounds about right.
Too much sugar in the vinagrette though.
So was Liam O’Flynn misguided when he stated, and I quote, “The pipes that I now play, used to belong to Willie”?..belong to

…you know, I thought the same thing. Live and learn I guess. :roll:

perhaps he was using the word loosely.
