Nice looking half set on ebay.co.uk url far too long for me to bother with, just look it up.

Basically a Howard practice set with mystery drones. current bid £400 odd, reserve £800.Basically a free set of drones compared to a new Howard practice set.

Earliuer I was of the opinion that these were Pakistani drones, but on further inspection I am not so certain any longer. There appears to be more detail in their construction than any P set I have seen to date.

Anybody have a photo of Howard drones for comparrison?

Hi Joseph,
You can see Brians on his site www.howardmusic.co.uk

Thanks.

His (B Howard) current drone configuration does not resemble the drones in the Ebay auction one iota.

They’re Pakistani Drones… made by Rhythm Industries, they all look like these… :slight_smile:

Seller says -

“I was informed that this set was not totally a Howard half set by six irate people.” (emphasis mine)

I say -

Must be the C&F goon squad again :wink:

P drones on a Howard set, isn’t that like a Travant engine in a Merc?

Well, yes…Then again, Trabis can be kind of endearing. There are quite a lot of Trabant clubs in Germany these days I hear…I’ve been waiting for mine from the factory for years…I hope they paint it “himmelblau.” :tomato:
