Unbelievable stuff

Hi all,

Thanks,
Padraig

Unlike other senior competitions at the Fleadh, winning the senior pipes competition (in my time at least) was less of an achievement than an under 18 medal, a lot of the of time there was only one or two competitors and as a result the standard was lower at times, underage competitors sometimes did...

I think Gary Roche's set was made by Sylvester Ryan

Hi Tommy,

Just out of curiosity what characteristic(s) of the set in the advert make you think it's not a Taylor set.

Padraig

Not exactly ebay, but thought it might be of interest
Brendan Collins is selling a Taylor set:
