It’s a lot of money, I know. I also was thinking this to when I bought them. But they are it worth. The pipes are located in Belgium.

And what appears to be a 4th regulator thrown in for free.

Steve

I think you’re looking at the 4th drone which is pitched a 5th above the 3 other drones (i.e. G# or, in terms of a D set, A).

PJ, you’re right. Duh.

Nicely played. It’s a great sounding set.

I found someone who is very interested and wants to buy them. So when all is arranged its sold.

Patrick

That was fast and with a lot of mails all over the world.
