So the 3 sets sold for above their estimates, the Robert Reid set nearly doubled the lowest estimate.

As I thought, the Crowley set wasn’t included in the sale today.

Time will tell who is the successful bidder(s) ( It’s not me!)

Hopefully the pipes will be played, or at least heard.

I'm still not convinced it's a Crowley set. The chanter looks like several Kennedy chanters I've seen.

Moss Kennedy was taught pipemaking by Tadgh Crowley. It could explain, perhaps, any similarities.

Barry O'Neill in Los Angeles got the Dunn set. Michael Hubbert has been enlisted to restore the set. Very exciting!
