Vignoles 1/2 set with extra bag:
1/2 set of Arie De Keyser Chanter and made-in-India drones:
And Medir cane for reeds:
Wow.
$12.99 for eight pieces (not tubes)!
I could make a fortune on my boxes of Medir cane.
I didn’t spot that. Someone just paid $13 for 2 tubes of cane. $6.50 per tube. That must be a record!!
Always good to check the fine print.
At 6.50 a tube I could retire! Well. For a little while. Let’s see if anyone bites.
It’s already sold !!
Damn. I’ve got a new business to start.
Ray sloan’s chanters seem to be turning up on ebay this week

Niel O’Grady keyed chanter in D

Having had the opportunity to play 5 or 6 O’Grady chanters, I think that they make a good beginner’s chanter. They are lightly reeded (not too much pressure required) and not as loud as most concert pitch chanters (won’t bother the neighbours).
Expensive cane to help reed an unreeded chanter

Let us hope that chanter can be reeded and it is not an expensive mistake
Now I know why I do not bother we Ebay

Might be, however are only two keys fitted - I either fit just the C key on the Student sets or 4 (F, G#, Bb & c) on other sets. Mounts look different.
I have passed details of Taylor pipes to several makers over the years
I am now leaving for St Chartier on the evening ferry and will be away until next Thursday. No internet access at the festival so will be out of touch until my return

This confuses me. It didn’t sell for $750 so why relist it at $800?
Oddly enough, psychologically at least, this kind of thought works. Sometimes people will think something’s too cheap and therefore not valuable. Though this usualy isn’t true with higher-end items and musical instruments.
