Hello gang,

My alleged Eugene Lambe practice set came from Ireland, via New Jersey, to Wisconsin and was immediately modified, in Iowa, with a Pakistani chanter.

The original, not-likely-Lambe C chanter is very light, both in color and weight and bears no crafter's mark that we can find. The pipemaker who examined it said it might well be someone's early attempt at the trade, but had potential nonetheless.

I'd like to keep it, but must sell to support my piping habit; if anyone wants a curious flat chanter for not a lot of dough, just let me know. Though I doubt he's had time yet, the pipemaker with whom I left it may have worked miracles on it already, in which case the dough would need to rise a bit...

Thanks and happy piping,

Bok Choi
