Re: Ebay Items

vPipes - being sold by an instrument seller in Germany. This listing is a scam. It is reusing photos from the set of vPipes recently linked here and sold from England. There is also a photo with contact info that I think is requesting potential buyers to email the listed address and that the seller...

Re: Ebay Items

Update: The seller replied to one of my messages telling them that splitting this lot up is a mistake, as they will mix up reeds/parts with the wrong sets. This was their reply: "HI WITH REGARDS TO LOOSE REEDS THEY WHERE NOT INCLUDED IN ORIGINAL LISTING ANYWAY" [sic] My reply to this was: ...

Re: Ebay Items

I was the first to bid on the lot of pipes, and had maintained the high bid until the seller "nuked" the auction. I reached out for more info at the start, and the seller communicated that they'd received a lot of messages and other offers, so it sounds like they've likely sold some of the...

Re: Ebay Items

Is this of interest? I'm pretty confident that there is a Middle East made set. The wood looks like it has been stained darker than they usually look to pass off as ebony, but the usual hallmarks are there. In that bag of reeds, you can see some plastic chanter reeds as well- which to me (along wit...

Re: Ebay Items

The same people are listing Northumbrian smallpipes (a new departure for the Pakistani pipemakers). They have recently put up a recording on Soundcloud to demonstrate the quality. However the clip is stolen from someone else's Soundcloud page, and they are playing a Richard and Anita Evans set. The...

Re: Drone software or app

Check out this thread here from a few days ago: http://forums.chiffandfipple.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=105244 I have the iOS version of this app and it has a drone feature as well as the regulator keys. You can even adjust the pitch of the drones in the settings to tune to your chanter. I'd recomm...

Re: RTE: Seamus Ennis's kids about his life

It's Ennis' 'Lament for the Fox' from his version of the Fox Chase Yes, that's it! I knew it sounded familiar, and I didn't catch it on my quick scan through Ennis' discography as this section doesn't come in until about 8.5 minutes into the piece. It's interesting that he shuts off the bass drone ...

Re: RTE: Seamus Ennis's kids about his life

I hadn't heard this before, thanks for posting! Can anyone tell me the name of the air played by Liam and Catherine at around the 27 minute mark, and again by Seamus at the end of the program? I've checked all of my Seamus Ennis albums to no avail. I couldn't get the flash player on RTE's site to wo...

Re: Michael Egan

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this set linked below. They spell his first name "Michel", but they do list the object place as Liverpool. I've seen it in person and have a few photos on my phone. http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/bagpipe-uilleann-pipes-50470 http://mfas3.s3.amazona...

FS: Kelleher Bellows

Like-new set of full-size bellows, made from Red Ash with fabric trim. Purchased new from Kelleher just last October. I ordered them on a whim along with some other supplies, and have only used them a few times. Don't need a spare set of bellows at the moment, and need some extra cash. They work and...
