Howard half set
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334490651303 ... SwyNtivyg9
Can anyone confirm if this is genuine?
Headline information says item is in Sheffield, description says Bakewell, Derbyshire, which might suggest the description was cut and pasted from another listing.

Re: What's wrong with the fit of my pipes?
Also you need to drop your right knee quite a bit by tucking you foot under the chair. Sit where just you butt cheeks are barely on the front of the chair and tuck your foot back. That lowers the chanter and solves lots of problems especially when you use regulators but even if you don't. Here is a...

Re: Ebay Items
Wow, this fetched £175 . If anyone else is looking for a box of odds and ends and unfinished parts with no guarantee that any of it is any use I could make up several boxes like that.BigDavy wrote:More from the County Louth pipemaker's stuff.

Re: Ebay Items
If it helps, I have a set of drones clearly by the same maker (wood turning and metal identical, including the design of the drone switch, though metal is brass, and the mounts and puck are different. It is a nice sounding set of drones, even though they are not particularly pretty. They are stampe...

Re: Ebay Items
A new scam: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Uilleann-Pipes-Half-Set-Minus-Chanter/253527555199?hash=item3b076b7c7f:g:aiEAAOSwMPxavN4R I'm not sure it is a scam.

Re: Tricky bit
I use a thin piece of leather glued to the brass fitting on the stock, lubricated with a smear of vaseline, this makes a tight sliding fit between the two parts and an effective seal. Takes a bit of fiddling around to get an ideal thickness of leather but works well in the end.

Re: bellows size question
Efficiency is more important than size i.e how much of the air in the bellows is actually transferred to the bag with each stroke and how much leaks out somewhere or gets trapped in folds of leather in the bellows . A lot of people seem to like the O'Briain type bellows and happily play full sets wi...

Re: Ebay Items
Apparently he has tried to do so but Ebay are a law to themselves If you go to the page and click on 'Report item' then on the page that comes up select 'listing practices' and 'stolen item' then at least eBay have been made aware . I would do it but don't want to act on the basis of hearsay as I h...
