Months ago there was a post from someone in Argentina re: a set of Willie Rowsome pipes. Can any of our piping brothers in Argentina inform the list as to what has become of these pipes?
They are still there. There is also a Leo Rowsome set in Denmark, a chanter in Sweden, and a 1938 Leo set in Estonia last I heard 
Hi Brazenkane! I don´t understand the question, Do you need a list fo the LR sets in this country ? or do you need the name of the Piper that posted some pics of a set that came to his hands and was a Rowsome set?
Anyway the piper is Brian Barthe, and his nick is PiperBrian IIRC.
Here’s a snap of the pipes:

oh yeah!, he is Brian but the set is his own set, the Rowsome set has been sent to restoration by a maker whoasked him to not reveal his identity.

Oh dear, hope it isn’t who I am thinking of 
OK, do it again. That old story. That old -and already explained- story.
Bad pipemaker… whose pipes are played (casualty?) by some of the best/technical players out there. No sense.

Absolutely not. Let’s move on, it’s 2011 The pipemaker I am thinking of is actually a good pipemaker with good intentions, not a “bad pipemaker”, but the renovation of old historical sets of pipes can give rise to some anxious emotions. I can understand the request for anonyminity
…okay…so what is it…ar they still being restored, or are they back in Argy?
I think that´s still under restoration
Any news on when it’ll back in Argentina, or what the status of the restoration is? It’s been quite some time, so it has…!?

This could be any maker who did not want the general public to know he had a potentially very valuable historical set in his possession
I´ll ask Brian when I see him

Okay…it’s been well long enough …
Whatever happened to this set???
He brought it back to Argentina, not in playable conditions, no reed, so Brian couldn’t play the chanter, there’s still a crack in the mainstock so…
So, I presume that whoever had it to restore them didn’t/ or couldn’t?
Would you know if he considered contacting Benedict Koehler?
I really don´t know
It seems like a real shame to have that set not playing and if anyone could get it up and running, Benedict could!
