Re the cranked key - no idea why it's like that. This set is interesting in that it has three regulators, all fed directly from the main stock, the bass reg is looped back on itself like present day bass drone as shown in the bottom photo. Three regulators left room for only two drones - this is the only set I have ever seen that has this arrangement. At least one Kenna set pre-dates this with the current method of attaching the bass regulator. These sets were part of the recent Collins Barracks exhibition - the SRS database refers to it as 1890-942.
The article in An piobaire (4-35) said the chanter was a very close match to Kenna's and was good evidence to support the conjecture that John William Coyne was probably the man who took over Kenna's workshop. The chanter is different wood to the rest so may not be the originial chanter so the whole thing becomes even more speculative as the chanter is stamped Coyne the rest of the set isn't stamped. The SRS article says the bellows looks like Egan and overall does not attribute the set to any one maker.
There are more questions than answers about this set, it is a real enigma. Pity Sean Donnelly and Ken McLeod don't contribute to this board.
Nice photos though, thanks for the link Rory.
