Re: Ebay Items
Dixon half set.
I suspect there will be a flood of pipes/chanters offered on eBay over the next 2 months as Christmas credit card bills arrive.

Re: Ebay Items
Curious, too. Never heard. Is it regular - to fettle, fettled, fettled - or irregular - to fettle, fattle, futtle ?

Re: Ebay Items
The seller is from UK.
This definition found:
"to Fettle -(Brit dialect)
a. to prepare or arrange (a thing, oneself, etc.), esp to put a finishing touch to
b. to repair or mend (something)"
So, I guess needs some repair or work on finishing touches?
Cheers,
Paragon.

Re: Ebay Items
Up here in the north of England it means that it needs some attention to get it working in all probability because he has buggered the reedsChris Bayley set needs fettling ? What does that mean ??
Seller is in Northwich, Cheshire so possibly John Beattie whose name comes up on the Bob Dunsire forum on occasion. A player and dealer in mostly highland bagpipes and last time looked at his website http://www.classicbagpipes.co.uk had a nice ivory set of Reid NSP's for sale just slightly out of my price range -
see http://forums.bobdunsire.com/forums/sho ... hn+beattie The description suggest that anyone outside the UK should be careful as mounts are of a 'natural material' which I take it to mean a white substance manufactured by pachyderms

I've always wondered whether 'fettle' and 'fiddle' have the same etymological source when used this way, e.g., 'to fettle/fiddle around with something (to get it to work better)' or 'fit as a fiddle/in fine fettle', etc. Many speakers tend to pronounce the consonant sound denoted by dd and tt in them the same way (see 'ladder' and 'latter', etc.) and the meanings are very close to one another(see http://www.alphadictionary.com/blog/?p=190). I've heard it conjugated 'fettle, fettled, fettled'.
With regard to pipes the term 'fettle' always makes me think that it involves someone physically altering the instrument, e.g., undercutting a tone hole or something (not just adjusting reeds or rushing a bore). What does it mean exactly with regard to pipes?
