no i`m not getting out of piping, still got my Galloway set and a few bits and bobs. Buisiness is bad in the gardening trade, losing contracts all round to companies with eastern european labour, the bank has withdrawn my buisiness overdraft and the Inland revenue want thier VAT.

Now if only my wife would go on the game..........................

Full Set by Cillian O'Briain buy it now at £15,000.00 :shock: or make an offer.

Some, but not all, of the tone holes seem scalloped - the E, F, G, A, B and back D all seem to be but the Eb and C are not. I've never seen this before. Are all COB's chanters like this?

Jeez PJ - what an asking price 10k euros new from Cillian O'Bien is £9166.33 at todays exchange rate, so the poster is asking a £6k+ premium for a used set.

You could order a set from Gordon Galloway and have a shorter wait plus order an O'Brien set for delivery 8 years in the future for the £15k asking price.

Better believe it PJ - I did the accounting - £15k is more than I have paid in total for all my instruments.

(my pipes collection has cost me just a little more than £9.7k in total)
