"Made by the great masters David Quinn and Benedict Koehler whose bagpipes are the most copied in the world."
Yes, maybe a little inaccurate. However, DQ's C chanter design has been the inspiration for a few other current makers.

That is an Uilleann Pipe bag, bellows and chanter top, with a Scottish Bagpipe Practice Chanter hemped into the chanter top. Clever. Not very useful however.

The tag on the bellows says "T. Crowley, 10 Merchants Quay, Cork," (and other things.) FWIW, you know, "T Crowley, Cork, " etc. Just sayin'. Not exactly "not very useful," and certainly not worthless.

Oh! My mistake! It's very useful to play a highland practice chanter with a vintage uilleann bellows and bag. I stand corrected. :boggle:
