Re: Ebay Items
One does wonder how people end up with things, it's probably the owner passing away and the next of kin knowing nothing about the stuff.
I sold a set of uilleann pipes years ago to a friend who later passed away. I don't know who ended up with all his instruments. He had no family here, they were all overseas. Many years later the pipes showed up on Ebay by a seller the other side of the country. Who was this person and how did they end up with my old pipes?
We had a fairly prominent musician pass away here a few years ago, somehow a folk music shop ended up with all his instruments. I bought one of his sets of pipes for $200, it had important missing bits but of course the shop owner had no clue where they might be.

Re: Ebay Items
Has anyone noticed the shipping details? USPS economy? Up to 15 days? Thats a disaster waiting to happen for the pipes! And the shipping costs aren't cheap....$65? you could easily do UPS ground for that. Sketchy

Re: Ebay Items
uliieann pipes parts. - pipes are in France, I have my suspicions they are Pakistani, but the bass drone piece looks different from the normal sets.

Re: Ebay Items
Looks very much Charles Roberts. The bass drone looks different because the No.1 piece (reed piece) has been connected to the No. 4 piece (tuning slide/resonator).BigDavy wrote:uliieann pipes parts. - pipes are in France, I have my suspicions they are Pakistani, but the bass drone piece looks different from the normal sets.

Re: Ebay Items
The seller states that the pipes were included in a storage locker that was won at auction.john wrote:In reference to the treasure trove of pipes being sold on eBay, how would someone come into possession of such a haul, not even knowing what they'd acquired? One of those blind auctions where they sell things lost in the post, or lost property?
