New set of "Union" pipes on EBay

Post by TnWhistler »

Did anyone else look at these???

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 67426&rd=1

What the hell is that on the chanter??? A chanter sweater, or the ill-conceived Rowesome Flex-chanter?

Well, she states, "Do not compare this instrument to the cheap imports from India".

No not India, close by maybe??? OK it rhymes with Schmakistan.

This is a hoot.

Damn. Well, forget it then, I'm not bidding! :evil:


Anyway, she looks like she's a bit too cozy with the set there....I can't tell if she's trying to look like she's playing, or just giving the thing a bear hug! :lol:

Too much.

That's no chanter sweater!

She's obviously not figured out that the airhose connects the bellows to the bag. See how the bellows is hooked straight into the bag? And the hose is connecting the chanter to the cap??

Yes, funny as can be!

Sweet! But I'm not going to bid if you guys are going to keep laughing!

I'm just emailing them first to see if the shoe in the bottom left of the photo is included. I think the deal hangs on whether it's Italian leather or not.

I believe that the "old timer" she is referring to must have been racing towards the last stages of of an alzheimer's type dementia when he imparted his wisdom on the Uilleann pipes. ... or maybe he was simply legally blind.

It strikes me that this acution should be the punch line to a "blonde" joke... anyone have any suggestions? Extra points for creativity!

Peace!

It's Jackie Stallone. She's marketing her new Liposuction Machine.
I just hate it when someone will plug their pipes into any old bag they can find........... :roll:
