New toy arrived today:

Sorry for the bad photos.

B full set in ebony, nickle silver + nickel plated and imit. ivory, some custom work in turnings and mounts based on Hannan´s Kenna set, hollow mainstock, handmade keys (Coyne style), straight bass drone, fourth drone tuned at fifth, reg. tuners, keyed chanter, including stop key + F nat ring key. Awesome, considering that the reeds actually work at 25% of humidity (coming from Tuebingen at 75%).

My actual situation, after a miraculous recovering last year (remember, chiffers, that I had to sell a wonderful Joe Kennedy B half set), has gone again really bad (no car and divorce included) and has not allowed me to acquire another excellent instrument: A G. Galloway D full set (it was going to be ready the next month). I was in the list for both instruments... It seemed that I could have D & B sets after 12 years dreaming about it... but I have had to stay with the first finished. The D set has now a lucky new owner. Lot of thanks, Gordon and Patrick.

Michael Hubbert added these regs, and either replaced or reshaped the old mounts.

And he did a great job of it, too!

Excellent work, top notch. I am just curious, if you have chanter keys, are they also Taylor style???

Thanks!

Michael Hubbert really did do a top notch job. Mark Hillmann, who was a pipemaker, was thrilled with it when he tried them out. He changed a lot of the drone pieces to make them more in the style of Taylor. Anyone looking for a maker should consider him even with a three year wait. But to answer your question I did not ask for a new chanter with Taylor keys, my Hillmann chanter has the normal slender keys. The chanter is good and I don't want to replace it.

Who was the original maker and what did look like before?

Childress is the original maker. This is the puck before hand. A brass can with an ivory veneer on the face.

Here the mounts had almost a beehive style and all the small ivory bits were flat faced.

One additional thing Hubbert does with his pucks is that there is no hollow to the puck. The bass is stronger and has a definite point of tuning. With the hollow can there was no specific spot where it was in tune. You could move the tube within an inch and it sounded alright but never spot on.

Looks like a manly sized set. Also sounds like you raised a handsome sum in one night. Congratulations!

My Richard Patkós plumwood full set with a newly acquired Tim Benson boxwood chanter. The chanter sounds better than anything I've ever heard, live or recorded.. completely amazing. It's a copy of a short & scalloped class Leo Rowsome stick.

Hi all,
I already posted this link, but on the wrong topic.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?ci ... 633C61!133
This is my set of pipes made by Brian Howard.
Chanter and drones were made in 2000. I received the Tenor and the Medium regulators in 2007 and I collected the bass one in marsh 2011.
The chanter has 4 keys that can all be activated with the thumb of the bottom hand.
The keys are pin mounted.
The bass drone and the bass regulator are of short design. I can put the full set in a fiddle case without removing anything.
Regards,
Peter
