Who made these?
Kind of looks like an attempt to copy Taylor style regulator keys using block mounts, except the bass. But fancy turning on the end mounts specialy the pins.
I'd chance a guess at a previously badly repaired and since well worn Henley set.
Only a guess though.

The images on uilleannobsession are thumbnails only. They are linked to a pop-up image. Your pop-up blocker might be interfering with the link. Make sure you link to the larger sized image, not to the thumbnail. Hope that helps.

Try pressing your control "Ctrl" button when you click on the pic. It should open up in a separate window then.

The image URL I used links to the full-size pic, not the thumbnail... I guess y'all can copy the link into your browser.
It is really a nice looking set. Too bad that all I will ever do is look at that set. Owning it (or one like it) is so far out of the ream of reality that I cannot even daydream about it... but I can drool over it.

Nope, don't like the beehive set at all, but that Crowley makes my mouth water, stirs my loins and casts off a continuous glow of fresh pearls!
Sorry couldn't help waxing poetic. That your set biliii? Would be nice to hear a sound clip, to find out if it sounds as good as it looks.

A Cork pipemaker? Didn't know such a creature existed. Extinct now?

Alphonsus (Alf) and his father Maurice Kennedy made GHB and uilleann pipes in Cork. It's been said that they inherited the uilleann pipemaking tools of father-and son Tadgh and Denis Crowley of Cork.

Here is a set that surfaced at the Chris Langan weekend this past spring. A Taylor (you decide) set owned by George Balderose. Mick O'Brien holding this. Mick Played the chanter with an ad hoc reed - played very competently and had a wicked high D and E.
Below a photo of Mick O'Brien's B set by Alain Froment.
