For Sale is my Daye Practice Set with the Delrin exterior, high C key and reed. I made the bellows, bag and connecting bits. Included will be a spare reed (several, actually… one is a Daye reed that has a chip, but still plays, and two made by our old friend Joseph E. Smith). The bellows and bag are airtight.
Also included are Heather Clarke’s book/cd, Pat Sky’s Manual for the UP, and the NPU Art of Uilleann Piping DVD, Vol. I.
I have everything in a beat to hell trumpet case that also comes with.
I previously had a set of Daye’s drones tied into this bag. Here’s a shot of the plug I tied in. To keep with Daye’s PVC aesthetic, I used a pvc pipe cap. No leaks.
I’m selling because, honestly, I’ve not picked this set up in nearly 7 years. I sold the drones to fund the purchase of a mandolin, and this sale is going towards a classical guitar.
Daye’s current prices are $ $251 for the chanter, $235 for the bellows and $75 for a spare reed ($561 total) and a wait time of who knows. (He’s currently stopped taking chanter orders and I couldn’t tell from his website what the queue wait is).
I’m asking $575 (insured shipping included) to the Continental US.
