O'Briain chanter for trade...

Post by Poupounou »

Hi,

I would like to trade my O'briain D chanter (2 keys) for a Froment D chanter in perfect condition (with the rush inside of course ! :) ).

My O'Briain chanter was made few years ago, is in very good condition and I have made a gorgeous reed for it.

If anyone is interested or know somebody who is interested please send me a pm.

Thank you

Would you be willing to trade your chanter for 2 excellent, fully-reeded 3 keyed chanters by Kirk Lynch? Just curious.

I'm curious.
Is a very good condition O'brian 2 key chanter equal in value to a perfect condition Froment?
Should the Froment be keyless?

O'briain's chanters are more expensive than Froment's chanters.

I have to admit, I am a little perplexed why you would want to trade the O'Briain away?

OK

In my opinion both are very good instruments... I have made reeds for each chanters but to justify my choice:

1) O'Briain:
- very well in-tune (without rush)
- rich sound (the best chanter for sessions)
- comfortable (scalloped holes)

2) Froment:
- very well in-tune (with rush :lol: )
- sweet & precise sound (rowsome sound)
- more expressive with the "open fingering style"

It's only a tasteful question...

I would like to know if you have already sold the chanter, how much are you asking for it and if the chanter has open fingering style.
thanks

Please don't sell it to someone who asks if the chanter has open fingering style. Please?

I beg your pardon ? Anyway, I think Poupounou wants to swap his chanter, not sell it.
