I saw the set at Lewis' house at one point (pre-restoration), and I believe that Benedict and/or David Q performed the restoration.Joseph E.

Yes, it's the baritone drone.Key_of_D wrote:I could be wrong but, I don't believe that set has two bass drones... I'm quite certain the u-bend on the Baritone drone was a style at one point.
Willie Rowsome did this on a couple of sets (this one in Bflat, and Pat Mitchell's C set). Later, Leo did a similar thing with a hollow puck on the baritone of two sets. Didn't catch on - no acoustical advantage (apparently the opposite). Other than that, I don't know of any makers who did this.

What do you think of this (coloured) photo (obviously taken on the bank of sweet Lough Erne ) ? I can´t remember where I downloaded it from - all I saved was "Patrick Galvin". The set appears to be another Willie Rowsome. Strikingly similiar but look e. g. at the base drone´s U-bend, the base-reg-cap or the chanter-top.
Also compare the design of the chair and the bench!

Great quote in the article from Ronnie (Wathen?) about regulators:Peter Laban wrote:I put that up once. Paddy Galvin it is. The set is in a museum in NZ.
see An Piobaire
My favourite quote about playing chanter drones and regs together is "Attaching a tune with Horse, Foot and Artiliary".When people ask me what they are for, the regulators, I say that they are like big guns on a battleship, not to be used except in battle ...

The set Paddy Gavin has in that picture is a different one to whats now in the museum in Arrowtown. I have a picture of it here somewhere. When I find it I'll post it.
I've heard it said that the set Gavin has in the picture is the Bb Rowsome set. The set in the museum in Arrowtown is an Egan set.
