Has this been asked before ?, probably but I couldn,t find it so if you don,t mind we,ll go again
I play an old ginberg pratise set but soon to have a Mark Donohoe half set

PS It would be interesting to hear from pipers who have been playing for a long time, and have played the same set for a long time .
Had my pipes nigh on 14 years, only really been playing them nigh on 6 or 7 years if averaged out. Started with an Adrian Jeffries Chanter and Eugene Lambe drones, still playing them.
Cheers,

Boisvert D chanter, Pakistani drones, soon to be Boisvert full set.
BC Childress Full set. Bill Thomas half set. Both in D
Hi Bill, What do you like about either of them over the other if anything? Do you prefer a particular set for particular situations?
Cheers,
DaviG
Geoff Wooff B set
Koehler & Quinn D set
Love em both!
Patrick.
Ginsberg full set in C. Sweet.
Joe Kennedy full set in D
Gallagher 1/2 set in D, someday a full set.
Wouldn’t think of switching to any other set, add a K&Q set maybe.
The Thomas set was my first set and isn’t played on a regular basis. The Childress set is my primary instrument. I’ve come to prefer the Childress drones over the Thomas drones, but I was never dissatisfied with the Thomas drones. Childress chanter reeds have been much more robust and allowed me to play more and fettle less.
I think everyone on this forum would love em too
you lucky so&so

Careful now!

Cillian O Briain half set. Hopefully will be adding a couple of Michael Hubbert regs to it in the relatively near future…
1 full set in D.
Chanter by Johnny Bourke.
Regulators by Kevin Thompson.
Drones by Leo Rowsome, Kevin Thompson and Davis Biosvert!
Also Leo Rowsome D chanter, David Daye penny chanter and a C chanter by Ian MacKenzie.
and 2 fiddles, a mandolin, a viola, a Croger flute (c.1840) whistle scattered everywhere and last week I landed in with a Hohner Verdi piano accordion ($40, you can’t go wrong) but herself nearly went ape!
I know shes right, you can’t get into the apartment for instruments.

Full sets in D and B by Joe Kennedy.

One half set in D by Kirk Lynch, two Lynch chanters (one keyless in ebony, the other three keyed in Mopane… both D)…
A Williams Boxwood chanter in D, and a Michael Hubbert 3 keyed chanter in ebony.
No more D’s. No more chanters, that’s it!
A Charles Roberts practice set with chanter in african blackwood for right now. Soon to be a Boisvert lemonwood full set. I can’t wait, but I’ll jut have to won’t I. Oh Fr. Pat, I’ve been having impure thoughts.
van Daal fullset in D
Marc Van Daal fullset d-concert
B-set 3/4 set own making and “design”. Not the most nice set to look at. but also ugly birds can sing fairly nice.
Cis-chanter measurements from a Coyne from Phil Wardle.
Spillane d-chanter.
I am planning to make 3/4-set in pitch of Cis. If anyone have some measurements of drones and regulators.
