Pipes for sale: 3/4 Britton Set in D. Sold.

Post by Steve Pribyl »

I have a Tim Britton 3/4 set in D for sale. The set is made of rosewood (except for the stocks) and is very lightweight. The chanter has four keys and a metal top, no stop key. The metalwork is brass. This set has a number of “extras”: an “A” drone with a separate switch in addition to the normal 3 drones, and an “E” key on the baritone regulator between the “D” and the “F#” keys. Some of the tenons use cork for the seals, and some have waxed thread.

My asking price is $6000 plus shipping and insurance, which is about 1/3 off of what a new 3/4 set with these options would cost new from Tim.

See full details, additional description and photos at:

Please send me a private message if interested.

Steve- what's with the 2nd drone switch?? Ii was wondering if you had sold this.

Edited: Just read the description on UP obsession page. 2nd switch is for fourth drone.

Yes, I will definitely have them at the Southern California Tionól for 2007, which will take place over the weekend of November 2, 3 & 4, at which some of the worlds finest musicians and pipemakers including Seán McKiernan, Jimmy O'Brien-Moran, Benedict Koehler, David Quinn & Martin Preshaw will be attending, and in case you need additional information, further details of which are available at http://www.socalpipers.com/ :D
