Tremolieres C chanter in holly, fully keyed, with stop key as well. Seller located in France, ships/posts worldwide.
It appears it's being sold by the maker, since the seller says there is video of the chanter on his youtube channel (see below).

Disregarding concert pitch for the moment, if I was looking for examples to show the difference between uilleann pipes and Union pipes, they would be a good example of the former.

I bought the reedmaking supplies. Can confirm the seller is legit and shipped promptly.

It's true that you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar - but a big, steaming pile works best of all.

Keyless C chanter - UK only. The chanter came from Brian Howard's warehouse stock, was finished, reeded and a chanter top made by the seller (Mike Hulme).

I received a private message from Mike Hulme but can't read it.

I would appreciate if some moderator/admin could take a look at my account and allow me to receive messages.

Thanks a million!

I really wanted to bid on that Mike Hulme practice set with the fully-keyed chanter. Alas, I'm not in the UK.

You could sign up to a parcel forwarding service. A lot of postal companies offer a service where you can shop in other countries , they provide an address in that country and than forward the purchase to your address.

The development of flat pitched pipes has gone in two directions. Some makers have stayed faithful to the sound of the classic makers such as Coyne and Kenna (Union pipes) and some makers have in effect tuned down concert pitch pipes to make flat pitched pipes (Uilleann pipes).

Benoit's pipes are based on Froment, so it would be a Coyne bore on that.

I wonder if the seller is ever going to read the room and relent on that starting price...

I exchanged a few messages with him and told him the set looks great but that we’re wary of bidding because he has no history and we don’t know him. I suggested he introduce himself here. Hopefully we’ll see him.
