I Like the resources page
Very nice! It was a long time coming, but it looks like it was worth it.

The shop looks more user friendly too.

Another online forum … that’s all I needed 
In general, it seems to be a good improvement.
Who is the maker of the set on the web site?
Coyne
In with the old but glorious Coyne, and out with the Fromment four reg C to the archives of NPU history.
Yes, that’s the Coyne C set Geoff Wooff had his way with and NPU endowed (endowed?) to Nollaig MacCarthaigh.
Jayney Mack!
Patrick.
That Coyne set is in the key of B nat is not C nat that Nollaig MacCarthaigh has.
See An Píobaire December 2000 for article by Geoff Wooff.

Also see John Hughes playing his Coyne C# set 5th photo.
Saw Nollaig MacCarthaigh with this new C# 3/4 set rosewood,Silver boxwood mounts made by Joe Kennedy at the Belfast Tionol. It a lovely set and was told that it was easy to play with hardly any pressure needed. I was the only person that didn’t play the set as being left handed.

That’s the set if you ask me. 
. John’s a tall fellow, makes that chair look like a child’s seat!

Yeah, that was Joe’s personal set until recently. It really is a lovely one, and a great playing set.

Yeah, now that it I look at it it certainly looks like a B set. I had it in my head that it was a C set since he was presented with them at the Willie Clancy Summer School 2000: http://www.uilleannobsession.com/diary_2000.html#wcss2000
I just updated the article on my website to state that it is a B set… before some $#&@ tells me that it’s stated there already.
Good to know now for sure.

Hi all;
I’m not really sure what I’m looking at here. Aside from the face that this man has no head (odd enough I’ll admit, but distinctly off topic) what’s up with the bass drone? It sure looks to me like there’s more tubing involved than usual. Or have I fallen victim to tricks of perspective and lighting?
Yours, brusquely,
Mark
Has to be a creation of Jim Daly
I agree.
That is Jim Daly himself playing a D set of pipes. The drones and regs is the same bore (Reg keys on drone bore).
Boyd Peters and Liam would know more about those pipes as live in the same area in Glasgow Scotaland

Serious over-kill:
With that many regulators, you don’t even need a chanter. You just play the reg keys like a piano.
I may be wrong but I think I’ve seen another photo of this set with the double-bass reg bar bending back around the bass reg bar.
Admit it Peej, you wouldn’t turn this set down if it has handed to you… and I’ll be willing to bet you’d waste no time at all getting used to 5 regs. 
I could be wrong, but that looks like a B set.
Alain now plays a 5 reg C set. He plays as many notes on the regs as he does on the chanter. Its real shiney with all those keys!
Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like 4 regs and 4 drones. Though one of the drones has a tuning pin.
