Everything but the drones and bag were received new from David in April '07. The drones/leather bag I picked up off a forum member (here is the original post: http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?p=645813&highlight=#645813). The set is in great shape and plays well. Here are some sound samples:

And here’s some pics:
The set has been awesome in getting me off the ground, but I’m ready to upgrade to something nicer. The reed sounds great. The only thing that needs adjusting is the tenor drone reed (which is synthetic). Right now I have the tenor drone taped over, and imo it sounds fine with just bass and baritone. If you have a large waistline, you may need to get a new piece of plastic tubing as I’m pretty thin, but it shouldn’t be a problem. The set will be available mid to late November as I’m waiting on another set to arrive. I thought I’d throw it up here now though.
$1100 for the set not including shipping. A half set from David costs $1,300 and is about a year wait (don’t be fooled by his listed wait times ). I’m pretty sure he’s not even taking halfset/drone orders until December. For more info see http://www.daye1.com/pennychanter.html
