S. Gallagher 1/2 set (w/ nice case) on ebay

nice leacher soft case from cac a sac. At $2000, looks like a bargain.

I contacted the maker about this set. He said:

“The styling on the drones is a little simpler than what I am making now, but the sound should be basically the same. I now make the drones with wood lined drone slides, and the turnings at the end of the tenor and baritone slides is a bit different (more intricate now).”

Does he mean that the changes he’s made are mainly cosmetic?
