Dear C&F pipers
I have a Sloan standard half set that I bought in February 2001. Following the standard “seven years’ practice” advice I find I just haven’t taken to the pipes as I had hoped. In fact, for the last 3 years I have been mostly learning the flute instead. Regrettably, I think the time has come to sell the pipes.
Tech spec.
Blackwood all round (chanter and drones). Bag and bellows leak free. The chanter was fitted with a reed by Fred Morrison in 2005 which I still use, although I still have the original Sloan chanter reed. The tenor drone reed no longer seems to work, although it may just need re-binding. I rarely play with the drones on these days.
The pipes are very clean and tidy and I have looked after them well and keep them in a soft saxophone case when they’re not in use.
Price
Ray’s pipes are £2300 (2880 Euros) new. I would like to get £2000 for mine, but am open to negotiation within reason for things like postage and packaging. I will include the case which is very handy for general travelling but it’s not a flight case.
I will take pics for anyone who is interested and send them privately.
Any interested parties please p.m. me.
Thanks
m.d.
