Subject: Re: Budget Practice sets
For those interested I am starting to make a budget practice set consisting of a straight ebony chanter with no keys, an imitation leather stitched bag and leather bellows. No Ivory very plain. All that said, this chanter plays just as well as a fully keyed model. Going price is $600.00 and right now the wait is only 2 months.
You could give him a call. He’s in Chapel Hill, NC, and his number is 919.929.2048. Or you could e-mail him. His e-mail is listed in the first post of this thread.

I also make a starter set that is the same as above but with a leather bag, Ivoreen Trim, keyposts and one C natural key. Ready to add drones later. $1100.00. add drones to this set $2300.00.
Right now the wait time is pretty short. I have been doing this in my spare time for 30 years so I do not have a back log. Call if you wish.
