Re: Ebay Items
Geoff Wooff full set in D - US only, unless you pay $1000ish shipping. I posted the listing here because it is a Wooff set, but I am not sure if it is a scam.

Re: Ebay Items
With zero feedback for a history, I think I'd steer clear. Contact me for shipping is another red flag.

Re: Ebay Items
Now, I am really curious. Seller states the set´s location is Bolivia, NC. Google tells me Bolivia, NC has a population of 143. While it doesn´t appear there are any antique/collectible stores in Bolivia, there are lots nearby. I´d sure like to hear a whole lot more about the source of a Woof set that ´hasn´t been played in two years´, particularly with a nice round price of 10 grand. I can´t seem to get a sensible address for where these pictures are posted.

Re: Ebay Items
In all fairness, the shapes and materials (bellows shape, leather etc. for example, top of bass reg, pre-pig's nose design, shape of the reed cap etc) would be consistent enough with a 1987 vintage. It would make it a very early NBD (Geoff sent me a demo tape of the first he was working on in 86/87). I can remember, and have played, perhaps two around that time that went to the US, both in stained boxwood though. I am sure the man himself will have an opinion or thoughts on the provenance, (a serial number would be the thing to know), if anyone is going to give this a serious shot.
A very thorough talk with the seller, inspection of the instrument even, would be advisable.

Re: Ebay Items
I can, probably come up with a serial number for this set from the photos and description.
This is an early version of my Narrow Bore D and probably cost less than $2000 when new, being sold at a value inflated by a reputation that took many years to build.

Re: Ebay Items
It would be nice to have the Artist's Resale Rights or Droit de Suite, above a set percentage of price inflation, apply to crafts like pipemaking, wouldn't it?

Re: Ebay Items
Indeed it would Mr.Gumby . If I sell a set for a past customer I often get a commision but to have it percentage linked would be nice.
The set in question is number 71 by the look of it.... made in 1987.

Re: Ebay Items
67 was actually my first thought but I remembered a 69 joke made at the time, anyhow, never mind.

Seller has a second set of bellows for sale that also look like they could have belonged to the set, see seller's bellows auctionBigDavy wrote:Geoff Wooff full set in D - US only, unless you pay $1000ish shipping.
