I'm selling a Joe kennedy medium D chanter, the chanter is made from ebony and brass with a Cnatural key. The chanter is as new, it is two months old, I am selling for financial reasons, spare reed with chanter. I paid 1200 euro for the chanter and am looking for this amount for it. The chanter is perfect with no issues whatsoever.

If at McDonalds...medium means small. When purchasing a chapeau, medium depends on how big your head is......medium is large for me but a big headed dude may find it to be small. A edium chanter implies the maker has made 'em smaller and larger. And if not, why call it medium? Relative to what? Wh not say it is a D chanter and leave it at tha? How many on the list would say..."Oh, yeah, a medium Kennedy chanter.....I know what that means...yep...the medium....plays this way and that......."

I think what Bill was saying is that the moniker of "medium" does not necessarily imply that the maker crafts both wide and narrow bore chanters. Your reference to the fact that medium implies a size contextualization is relevant, but that does not necessitate that Mr Kennedy actually make both the larger and smaller bored chanters to use that language. In fact, the nomenclature would prove useful (even if only in some small way) if the maker did not produce both wide and narrow bore, as it would give some indication of the relationship of that specific chanter to the broader spectrum of bore measurement.
I would suspect that for most of us, just knowing that it falls somewhere between a wide and narrow bore is a useful piece of info, even without knowing precisely what that means in terms of mm (or inches, if you prefer standard). So, he does not have to make all three sizes to use the term medium to describe the bore. However, your point that the nomenclature is not terrifically effective unless the maker produces wide and narrow (so as to give a frame of reference for the "medium" size) is a meaningful one.

Bill: Did you know Geoff Wooff makes narrow bore D sets?
Lewis: Uh-huh. (Looks around.)
Bill: Leo Rowsome concert pitch chanters were wide bore.
Lewis: (Checking his watch) Yep, that's what they tell me.
Bill: I hear Joe Kennedy makes D chanters too.
Lewis: Oh really? Narrow bore or wide?
Bill: Sort of in-between I think.
Lewis: You mean medium bore?
Bill: Yeah, medium bore D chanters. That's it.

Joe can, and has, make you any size bore you like. The medium bore is his own design through trial and error. It is not as abrasive sounding as some of the wider bores, but it can be made just as loud as a wide bore through reed design. Joe is well known and respected for his small bore sets.

Medium bore still means nothing to me....tells me nothing about how the instrument plays, how in-tune- with-it-self it is, how loud, or easy to reed it may be, and why the hell the seller called it medium bore. Why bother to call it such if even a pipe maker...unless you have made 'em larger or smaller in the past.

- Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.
