FS: Ray Sloan Northumbrian smallpipes set in D - perfect!

T'is now on eBay:

<p>I have a Sloan D set which I like a lot and which was meant to be my interim set while awaiting another to be made.
<br>Part of me thought it’d be a good idea to gain the practice on that instrument in preparation for continuing playing on the other.
<p>I’ve tried several different sets and chanters now and have the distinct feeling that spending time on one chanter doesn’t necessarily prepare one well for another. I assume this to be part of the unique nature of hand-made reed instruments (having experienced something similar with uilleann pipes).

<p>I’m rethinking my plan and might like to free up some cash for musical project in front of me.
<br>Then I’d just take up the pipes again when the “keeper” set (yeah, I know, chortle awa’) arrives.

<p>Sloan D, 4 drones, each with bead and slide;
<br>11-keys / lined key slots (plated – chrome or nickel);
<br>Black buffalo mounts (fully mounted – quite pretty);
<br>Burgundy velvet bag cover;
<br>Sloan bellows.

<p>Condition: Excellent to near perfect; in super playing condition (just refettled this evening and it's playing dead on A=440 pitch).
<br>Original price: $5,632.00.

<p>As some of you may know, Ray Sloan is no longer making any sets of Northumbrian smallpipes.

<p>Please email if interested.

The set is currently on eBay.

(and I fully realize that it may well take a while to find a buyer)

I have ordered a set with two different chanters and more keys for what I wish to play.

Who did you order your new set from?

MarkS,
Check your PM

Okay, I HATE PayPal!

eBay (which owns PayPal) ended this auction because they say it violated their "Circumvention of eBay fees" policy.

Apparently, I'm not allowed to say:
"If you wish to pay by PayPal, you will be responsible for the fee (2.9 percent)"

Incredible!
Not only is the listing ended, they've entirely removed it so that I will have to write it all over again.

If anyone is interested, please contact me; I'll probably get around to relisting next week.
