Seth Gallagher practice set for sale. I acquired these pipes in July, 2003, but due to a rotator cuff injury I can no longer operate the bellows pain-free; ergo, the pipes are being offered for sale. George Gerules of St. Louis gave the set a squeeze so an experienced piper has looked them over and given his nod of approval. Reed is medium strength, good vibrant tone. Chanter has no keys, but is fully blocked for adding keys later. Comes with popping strap from Seth. I added Dycem to the back of the leather so it won’t slide off of your leg. I have pictures readily available. Please email at the addresses at the bottom and I will forward them.
$1350 for the pipes, $1485 with large hardshell case (price and ship for case was $134.50 on the nose) plus shipping & insurance . I ordered a very roomy case from Henderson Imports to fit the bellows. Plenty of room for a goody box and other ‘essentials’ (whistles, books, reed making tools, etc). I did not want to ‘crunch’ the bellows into a smaller case.
See the case here:
I also have the Armagh Pipers Club tutor with cd. Paid $30 from Cillian Vallely. I will sell for exactly the same amount. These prices pretty well only cover costs incurred for items and shipping. I will separate the items but would prefer to part with the whole package if possible.
Feel free to forward to any interested parties…
All the best—
