Tell us something.: I love uilleann pipes and I have become obsessed with them. But now the antispam software is just irritating the hell out of me so I am typing random crap to get past the minimum 100 character limit.

Interesting Website/ebay auction

Post by sjcavy »

So... Whilst surfing ebay I saw what looked like a real set being auctioned.

Than I opened the thing up. haha. It's interesting. He says he will make you a set, but that's too expensive, so people should order a good Pakistani set from him. He cites Geoffrey as a reputable maker.

check it out its good for a few laughs :lol:

The sad thing is that this site is under the makers directory of NPU.

How can that happen? Can someone get them to remove it, or at least add a disclaimer?

Hilarious (though perhaps ... just perhaps .... unintentionally so ....) :tomato:
