Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I wonder where all the Keenan sets are in America and why they don’t turn up on eBay or the likes?

I happened to be reading the old Irish American pipers newsletter started in the 70s on NPU archive,
The pipers who wrote in usually are beginners a few mentions of Keenan and waiting on pipes from him and McNulty.
I’ve seen a few McNultys turn up but never a Keenan.
