Boisvert C 1/2 set for sale

Post by belinejonq »

David Boisvert C ½ Set – The set is made from Curly Lemonwood (Castella Boxwood), with brass and imitation ivory mounts. The chanter is keyless but has blocks for 5 keys and a stop-key. There is a 4th drone which plays G (“A” relative to a D set). The mainstock is hollow and the drone reeds are composite with brass bodies and cane tongues (bari reed is an EZ drone reed). Comes in a rigid dulcimer case. The set includes the original bellows. There is a scratch on the main stock, probably caused by a belt buckle of a previous owner. The set has been well-kept with only a small amount of thread added to the tenons over the winter. This is a sweet sounding, well-balanced flat set with the classic maker look and tone. Bag and bellows are airtight. Selling to fund a concert pitch set. The pipes are located in Quebec, Canada.

Price: US$3500 (negotiable). Buyer to pay shipping and insurance.

I know Line and I have played the set in question. I can vouch for Line and for the quality of the set she is selling.
