Number 4 is Paddy Keenan.

No idea who 1-3 are as they are all playing the same set haha!

3

Yeah, Keenan is #4. Haven’t the foggiest as to the others. Nice set of pipes though.,…! OOH OOH!

Here are my guesses…

#1 Mike Rafferty
#2 Cormac Cannon
#3 Mick O’Brien

???

PD.

4

Uilliam, why so negative? :smiley:

5

#4 looks like Paddy Keenan (or his pipes, at any rate).

6

It’s him alright… the paisley shirt gives it away :slight_smile:

PD.

7

…and the thistle-shaped reg pins.

Inverting these images is telling: the first image is of a middle-aged-to-older man. He is wearing a tie, has a wedding band on his left hand and a pinky ring on his right pinky. Looks to be a “gentleman” piper…so I know it’s not me!

The next image is of a much younger man (or woman…probably man) probably in his early twenties.

The third image is of a piper somewhere in between in age. This image looks to have had some editing to hide some clues on the mainstock, which might have given away the owner of the set at least.

These all appear to be the same set of pipes, chanter looks to be flat…perhaps in the B range.

Actually they’re hops… very tasty! :slight_smile:

9

My god Pat! Have you licked those reg pins?! Will you stop at nothing! :astonished:

10

They are all pipers that have upset the Daleks

11

Well… when a lowly subject one must do the king’s bidding :really:

PD.

12

the bottom is Keenan. resting the bend of the wrist on his knee-that’s my cue.

13

I always thought they were artichokes? :blush:

14

Hi Uilliam

Sneaky one aren’t you.

The triple posted set in question is Uilliam’s own Rogge 3/4 set, trying to make life difficult it seems.

15

I covet Paddy’s … shirt.

16

Could be Uilliam’s hand’s in the first actually. I think the set is Cormac Cannon’s Egan set though…which makes sense as he’s in college in Edinbugh and all that malarckey :slight_smile:

El Pato.

17

Of course, it is not uncommon for Uilliam to sneak a foty of hisself into the thread somehow. You know, for continuity and to show scale and whatnot :poke:

18

Well done to JR for spotting Paddy’s set almost immediately.But its hats aff to Pat for getting the Egan set right and the second player as Cormac…Ye are both eligible to share the prize so its the bridle to Pat and the hemp to JR .

The Star of the show of course..

The photies were taken last Saturday afternoon in Pats House when the three of us got together to have a look at Cormacs Egan set which used to belong to Pat.Rather a pleasant time altogether and the set sounded lovely.
