I’ll second this - and do you know who the set was originally made for

Whether I can find the readies is yet another question that I suspect a lot of people are asking themselves

I’m sure Mark will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that this set was made for a piper named A. J. Mullin (there is a little silver plate on it in the shape of a harp upon which is name is inscribed). The set is wonderful and I have to pleasure to see and hear it on a regular basis (Mark is my teacher).

So what’s the asking price?

at least, as it’s 2nd hand, it won’t be as much as a new set! :smiley:

I believe there exists a photo of said AJ Mullin. Does anyone know who he was? A resident prehaps of New York or Philadelphia?

Yes, I believe there may be a couple floating around. Perhaps on D’Arcy’s fabulous site?

I found some photos on the “Picture your pipes” thread (scroll about half way down the page):

By the way, my offer of $500 still stands. Plus, I’ll throw in 3 winter tyres, some bailing twine and a 4-year-old piebald cob that answers to the name of “Rumsfelt”.

Thanks Peej, good snooping effort! :thumbsup:

So what happened to the bass regtulator and original chanter? Are they included in the sale?

Beautiful looking set!

Pat.

Last I heard, David Quinn had the chanter at his shop for measuring or something.

David is sending the chanter back, and it is included. There are pictures of the chanter in the “Pictures of your pipes” thread. The bass regulator, which is included, was presumably made by Hutton. There is no Taylor bellows with the set.

These are the images from the pics o’yer pipes thread.



Mark, this set is in great shape from what I can tell, did you do any cleaning/restorative work on it? If so, what did you do?

I put new pads on the keys, put sleeves the regulator bores in the mainstock out of thin walled brass, made a new loop section for the bass drone, a new teneon section for the baritone drone, put old reeds in the drones and some shite reeds in the regulators and then just played the crap out of them for a few decades.
