I put this on the UP board but I thought it would be of interest to all. This is my under-construction set of Uilleann Pipes. They are being made by Andreas Rogge over in Germany. I have never seen a set completely unassembled like this.
All that turns into one instrument? 
Wow.
And that’s minus bag, bellows, straps, reeds and hemp!
What kind of wood is that, Paul? Looks great.
It’s Cocobolo, Nanohedron. It gets darker with age.
How many people does it take to play that thing! 
I don’t see the Allan wrench! Is this from IKEA? You’re missing some parts! Where are the instructions?
You didn’t read the fine print:
SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED…DID YOU!
So how long till you get this beauty of a set in your hands Paul?
Can you spell A-n-t-i-c-i-p-a-t-i-o-n?

Yes, it does. Although the term “instrument” is being used loosely. 
Just one, but you have to learn to think like an octopus.
The hemp’s for smoking, i guess.
Loll, Mark. 
I don’t have a date as of yet but I have been waiting for a little over 3 years for the octopus now. They were kind enough to email me this picture today. I don’t have to tell you that this has made my week!
