The asking price is $8,000. Please contact me via PM for inquiries and pics. The set is in B and was made in 2001, probably a few years earlier, see DM Quinn’s not below: ziricote chanter, costella boxwood drones, pear regulators, and the stock might be mesquite. Bellows are not by K&Q.
Jim, check your PM as I have a student here who I think will want to make the purchase and need contact info. Lewis
interested.
pictures?
I, too, am interested. I was far away from being able to afford a 1/2 or 3/4 set, but I was able to unload an unproductive investment (finally made the choice between auto racing a pipes (duh, that shouldn’t have been a hard one..) Please send pictures to dbs@hiwaay.net

The set might be on the first page of the Pictures thread:

Lorenzo, can you confirm?
Please note the new description - the set is in B!
I had a feeling it was alright!
Hmm…! 
PD.
According to the description, yes, it sounds like the same set! If it looks like the set in that picture, it has to be the same set. BTW, that would be a Koehler/Quinn B¾ set. This would also be the set that was made for Tom Kennedy (tok) who use to frequent this forum. Also, there are four pictures of that set on Pat D’Arcy’s web site under “extras” then “Koehler and Quinn” then “B set…”
I recognized the chanter but wondered as I did not recognize the rest of the set. I did not know if K&Q had another chanter out there with same design but could not imagine another one with a Braille guide for the pinky finger.
This set continues to increase in price each time it is posted for sale.
…reminds me of the book “Accordion Crimes” where the life and times of a single accordion is detailed is it passes from owner to owner. I hope the owners of this set of pipes have not met violent ends…
Is this the same set I played several SF tionols ago I wonder?

This set sure has gotten around in the past couple of years.
B? Drat! A concert set in Zirocote would make a lovely brother to my C set.
The set in question is indeed in B, not D. It is a Koehler and Quinn set, made in 1999 or 2000. The bellows being offered with it is not the one that we sold with it, and I do not recognize its make.
The B set that BK played at the 2001 San Francisco tionol was another set. It had a similar chanter, but the entire set (also a 3/4) was of ziricote.
I am responsible for the date 2001 in Jim’s recent edition of the initial post. We talked on the telephone on Friday, and that was the date I told him. On careful consideration, I have to think the set is a little older than that, but Jim added this information based upon what I told him on the phone. I apologize to Jim, and to anyone else who may be concerned.
The description now seems accurate.
Any idea why such a desireable set seems to have changed hands so much since it was made? Is it just the mixed woods used for it? Public or private answers welcomed.
The set plays nicely by all reports; I’d guess it was one of their early sets in B and/or trying out the different woods for the set.
…never heard this set, by the same token, never played it…but for the love of all that is beautiful, it is a K&Q B set (experimental or other) that seems to be in the ongoing process of finding a happy home…if it should stray upon my doorstep, it’s days of seeking shelter from the storm will be blessedly over. 
So, is this the TOK set or not?? I was under the impression that the TOK set was the one BK played on the West Coast in the early part of this new century.
It is the set that was originally sold to Tom Kennedy. BK had it with him in Seattle in 2000, but the one he had in San Francisco in 2001 was a different set.
Here are the pictures Jim referred to in the first post:
