I picked up the Hughes set, luckily the seller is only about 4 hours away, so it should be pretty quick shipping!

Anyone know anything about Mr Hughes? From what I read he's a good maker.

If the seller is only 4 hours away, you should consider picking it up, or meeting the seller half-way. If the pipes are shipped, they'll probably spend at least one night in a cold warehouse or delivery van and that won't do the reeds any good.

The set is so light, it almost appears to float off of the lap of the piper... :P

Tell us something.: a sentence or 2. Having a field that requires 100 characters get displayed next to each and every post I make sure is annoying.

Looks an awful lot like Cillian Vallely, doesn't he? The auction doesn't say if the painting is of an actual piper or of an "Anonymous".

Nice bag work despite an apparently dislocated left shoulder! Talk about playing through the pain ...

Hint, the seller has been playing the set without even noticing that half the bassdrone was missing, still claiming that it use to sound just great :o
I would definately contact Bruce to get an update regarding the set before placing a bid.
