Is it a three or four regulator set ?

Pictures would be good - I believe there are a number of online sites where you can host them and then reference them onto the forum.

The Bayley sets look very like A.Froment's work......is their any conncetion between the two makers?

The regulator keys have a Dave Williams air to them for me. The chanter, Taylor, like Barry O'Neill's.

PD.

The little cap on the bottom of the chanter is interesting. I've not seen that before.

It's a popping valve. Ensures a tight seal when the chanter is on the knee. No need for a popping strap.

Popping valves are great fun. Easy project for someone who wants to add one to their chanter.

Do you have plans for a DIY popping valve? If so, I'd be interested to learn more.

Thanks.

By the way, Chris, that's a very nice looking set of pipes (pictured above).

Thanks PJ - just one of my standard 3 regulator sets.

Some more pictures of the set

Design has no connection with AF or DW - keys are not cast but bandsawn from 1/8" brass sheet and then rounded on the linisher. I went over to using heavier keywork with rounded edges many years ago after I saw a piper slice his hand open on knife edged regulator keys by another maker.

Chanter is loosely based on the style of the Taylors with long block mounts e.g. as Pat says Barry O'Neills, Sean Folsom etc. with some 'improvements' of my own such as the lower hand thumb rest.
