Thank you, David! I’m in the states so this might not work for me. Appreciate the help, though

Chris Coe practice set - UK only. No sign of the bag in the listing. There is two keys on view, but there seems to be mounts for a C natural key so it is possibly 3 key.

Kwisthout half set in D - Relisted.

Half set in D - seller says they are vintage, my first thought was Pakistani, but the stop switch does not look like the current type and the bass drone has a puck.

Hmm. My initial thought is Ginsberg. I’ve seen one or two of his sets with bass drones like that. But the chanter looks different. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if that is elephant ivory.

Hi there, I've been watching some of these listings for some time.
I notice that the exact same Kwisthout set keeps getting relisted again and again, even though people have placed bids on it when it was listed previously. So apparently the seller can opt not to accept a final bid.
On the other hand, there was a listing for a Daye half set (missing bag, I believe) about a month ago, and the seller accepted the first bid and ended the auction early! I found that most frustrating.
