Still Looking for a flat chanter or set.

Hi gang,

Anyone have a nice flat chanter or set they’d like to part with?

This is for myself.

I offer your choice of the oppulent cache of goodies currently in my possesion at ye olde Irishflutestore.com as an inducement to part with such a beast, and to mitigate any subsequent separation anxiety. :slight_smile:

Cash money may also be an option if you are of the ilk that prefer such banal fare. :wink:

Please respond via PM or email

Didn’t you get rid of a Preshaw C half set not long ago?

I did…lovely set. There were but two* problems.

  1. It had no keys (I use both F and Cnat keys constantly in my playing)

  2. It had Martin’s older style drones that went straight out rather than re-curving back. There was just something alarming to me about my kids using them as hurdles while I was playing. :open_mouth:

  3. I wan’t, at the time, in a financial position to have two sets.

I would certainly be proud to own anything by Martin…lovely work.

I recently heard a clip of a C# set that really did something to me. Very cool sound. I’d also love to try a B chanter.

I hope to try a few chanters/sets over the next several months between C# and Bb to find my preferred flat pitch.

Eh, what’s up Doc? :stuck_out_tongue:

Doc, if you are still searching for a flat-pitch chanter, I might have a local solution to your quest. If you are not already considering it, it might be worth the trip to Salt Lake for our up-coming Tylenol with Tommy Martin June 8-10. I’ll PM you with some more info.

Well, I took the plunge and got the eBay Gallagher B set. Pretty psyched about it. We’ll see if I can manage the stretch.

If you can’t, I know I can… and I’ll even accept the donation. :smiley:

hmmph…must be nice to just buy a set when the opportunity arises… :imp: :swear:

What? :confused:

No offense, but I know a little something of what goes into being a veterinarian, and it ain’t a cake walk. Doc has earned his money, a lot of it lomg before he even started practicing medicine.

On the other hand, it must be nice to buy a set when the opportunity arises. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I know that Joseph, just a little harmless expression of jealousy and envy :smiley:

Have fun with the set, Doc!
