the set has been sold .
I needed quick cash . I think the totally air tight pearwood regulators will be missed the most by me . though ,, the rock solid boxwood drones , and crispy , in tune , b chanter , have a 2nd runner up .
,,,, tok

. p.s. might I mention that the set , when the bag is full of air , stays full . till you put the drone switch on open . quite a set of pipes .

Tom...is this the Quinn "B" set I hear in the "sound sample" you have under "weddings" on your web site?

Most of the pictures show you playing the set right handed, but the one on the opening page is playing it left handed. Are the images reversed or do you actually play it RH?

And the reel under "other events" is that the same B set? What is that tune?

yes . Lorenzo . I am left handed . I started on the tin wistle , left handed . I acttually auditioned to a music college , on the wistle . When I got my 1 st set of pipes , they were a right handed set . so when I switched , I lost the wistle , almost , totally , . The picks may be reversed . New years resolution ,, redo the web page ,, tok . thanks for asking .

. lol. ok that tune ,," chune ",,lol,, is a reel I picked up from a tape of ,, it is right on the tip of my toung ,,g. Mceowen , , played on a flat set at a concert in new york city , about 1989 , or so . On an egan set that was in the states ,,,, sent over the pond ,,, and there you have it . I dont know the name of the tune , and the website does not do it justice , as the tune is does not carry through to "the turn " or the real 2nd part . tom .

Tom..read the edit note in the post above. This sound sample is the Quinn "B" set? And it is set up for LH? Good, I'll learn both ways, oh I think I can easily reverse the set....they sound wonderful...can't wait.

I sent a couple pipers your way today for some reeds...expect some busyness.
