Very nice! It was a long time coming, but it looks like it was worth it.

Another online forum ... that's all I needed

In general, it seems to be a good improvement.

Who is the maker of the set on the web site?

PJ · Post by PJ » Mon Mar 13, 2006 10:56 am

Coyne

In with the old but glorious Coyne, and out with the Fromment four reg C to the archives of NPU history.

Yes, that's the Coyne C set Geoff Wooff had his way with and NPU endowed (endowed?) to Nollaig MacCarthaigh.

That Coyne set is in the key of B nat is not C nat that Nollaig MacCarthaigh has.

See An Píobaire December 2000 for article by Geoff Wooff.

Also see John Hughes playing his Coyne C# set 5th photo.

Saw Nollaig MacCarthaigh with this new C# 3/4 set rosewood,Silver boxwood mounts made by Joe Kennedy at the Belfast Tionol. It a lovely set and was told that it was easy to play with hardly any pressure needed. I was the only person that didn't play the set as being left handed.

Cheers

That's the set if you ask me.

Yeah, that was Joe's personal set until recently. It really is a lovely one, and a great playing set.

Yeah, now that it I look at it it certainly looks like a B set. I had it in my head that it was a C set since he was presented with them at the Willie Clancy Summer School 2000: http://www.uilleannobsession.com/diary_ ... l#wcss2000

I just updated the article on my website to state that it is a B set..... before some $#&@ tells me that it's stated there already.

Good to know now for sure.

Hi all;

I'm not really sure what I'm looking at here. Aside from the face that this man has no head (odd enough I'll admit, but distinctly off topic) what's up with the bass drone? It sure looks to me like there's more tubing involved than usual. Or have I fallen victim to tricks of perspective and lighting?

Yours, brusquely,

Mark
