FS: LH Seth Gallagher 3/4th set w/o chanter. Reeded by BK
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2016 2:12 pm
Hello everybody,
Apologies for having to abbreviate the thread title so much. In a slightly more verbose manner, it would read "Left-handed Seth Gallagher 3/4th set without chanter. Reeded by Benedict Koehler."
I am selling my (left-handed!!) Seth Gallagher three-quarters “D” set with no chanter. They are made from ebony, brass, and imitation ivory. They include a set of Seth’s bellows and are tied into an airtight leather MacHarg bag. I have had this set since 2010 and have spent the years that I’ve had them playing them with extreme frequency, and they’ve also done some traveling across the country as well as across the ocean (based in North America). I’m very happy with the way that they behave and am sad to see them go as they have treated me well.
The set has spruce/wooden reeds made by Benedict Koehler as well as several modifications (all of which 100% reversible!) done to the set by both myself and Benedict in order to get it to behave exactly the way that I want it to. This includes: plastic inserts in the end of each of the three drones to round their tone and a wooden ring inserted into the brass mainstock cup in order to encourage drone phase-locking, as well as a few others. I have also reinforced the leather inside of the bellows in order to make the gusset feel thicker. This is all while retaining the look of the original gusset.
The spruce regulator reeds are very much in tune, balanced with the drone reeds both pressure and volume-wise, and have quite literally never been touched (besides sliding up and down the slide and rushing for tuning) since I got them. The drone reeds have a great buzz and presence to them, yet are not overly loud and blend well with the regulators, and again have never been touched since I got them except one or two flicks of a tongue. These pipes have played in near-0% humidity as well as 100% humidity and have never let me down. The original reeds made by Seth (Bronze reg reeds and cane drone reeds) will be included. The spruce reg reeds can be replaced with the bronze ones with very little effort as they work just fine, but the cane drone reeds would need some work done on them in order for them to play.
