Is there a Wooff C set for sale somewhere? In Canada prehaps? I thought I saw this mentioned somewhere on C&F, but I can’t seem to find the text. Bob Gardiner’s name was mentioned. Prehaps I dreamt it???
SteamP, please check your PMs.

Great thread title. Pity about the question mark at the end, though. ![]()
There was a Geoff Wooff C set in Canada selling for 12,000 Euro.
There is… Debbie Quigley’s is up for sale.
Right, Debbie’s, thanks. Thanks also Djm and Peter. 12.000 euros!! I’ll have to pass on that set
Does she have another set to play on then or prehaps she’s taken up the flute?
Debbie has at least one other set. She has a full set in D from Koehler & Quinn. Absolutely beautiful instrument in both appearance and sound.

yep… K&Q… made me want one…
She said she is selling the C because it is hard enough keeping one going. So I think she only has those two.

“She said she is selling the C because it is hard enough keeping one going. So I think she only has those two.”
What exactly are the problems. As I understand she is an experienced piper and can probably make adjustments as needed, is it the travelling, humidity, or the lack of humidity that is causing extra problems?
Lack of opportunity to play it much, coupled with personal considerations. Nothing wrong with the set at all.

Fair enough. I have just the one set I use, and a couple of extra chanters in different keys, and that’s enough for me to handle. Hope the set goes to a good home and gets played a lot.
I am sure djm is right. I just figured that she didn’t have an opportunity to play them.
I have just heard (3rd hand) that the C set has already been sold to some fellow in Alaska … ![]()
I’ll find out more this weekend.

I hear that Alaska has a strong foreign exchange rate.
Debbie probably has another set on it’s way - maybe more than a guess ![]()
Yup, a B set from K&Q. Life’s rough. ![]()

Good for Debbie, I think she will find it very enjoyable and of course she will make it SING. Plus Benedict will make certain the tuning and setup is faultless, I can’t wait to hear her playing it.
Plus she’ll be able to show me how to play mine. ![]()

I’ve heard from an extremely reliable source that the Quigley C set by GW that is/was for sale is quite a nice set. Should be quite a nice find for whomever ends up with it. (and i’m quite nice and tired, and thus repetitive in a quite nice sort of way).
