Except for the regs, you can hear Steve Turner's Froment D set on Clips and Snips.

There ought to be some kind of law against people like Ben. Doesn't he already have a Cillian O'Briain?

I think he has a 'frankenset' with an O'Briain component.

Much luck with the new set Ben. As someone said before... better it goes to a piper than a collector.

Pictures and sound files soon... yes?

Fair play to you! Boy is your "hubby-do" list going to grow...what with washing the dishes, fixing all the creaky hinges, painting her toenails etc..yer not going to have TIME to play that shiny new set!

by the way Ben..your avatar REALLY reminds me of Bruce Drillpress..er...Childress....

Congrats Ben.

I have heard some good chunes from you already on the snips and clips. Those regs look like they will take some getting used to though.

...massaging her feet, cooking, remodeling the bathroom, doing the shopping...

Congratulations, Ben, you've got yourself a real treasure. And I don't mean the pipes.

Ben's an excellent piper, and this set should do him well.

Congrats Ben, and let's hope your wife can pay for 'em too.

I hope she can too!!!

It was a once in a lifetime opportuninty for me she said "I couldn't let the opportunity pass you by".
My current set may well be soon coming up for auction. Watch This Space!
Will post some pics and sound files in due course.
Ben
