Egan set for sale on behalf of a local client. Circa 1770,
stamped Egan on stock - presumed John. Same maker as the Lord Edward
Fitzgerald set in the national museum Dublin. Replacement
chanter, but otherwise fully original. Restored by Peter and
fully working, playing in D but would be as happy if not happier in C#.
Threaded drone mounts . . . Sensible offers considered. Contact

I have a concert chanter for sale. It is the first thing to
be
made in the new workshop in Leeds, and as such is stamped 001.
The wood is something related to partridge wood, which Bob at
timberline recommended to me - it is broadly speaking chocolate
coloured and darker than the photos (I am a bit colour blind) and very
dense with a very good
tone. The chanter has a C natural key. Apart from the fact
that this is chanter #1 from the Leeds workshop I am not likely to ever
make another chanter in this wood (I only had the one piece) or that
looks like this with the ferrule below the top mount. So it's
rather special.
Pictures below, soundclips follow here. Recorded (in a hurry, sorry for
any cringed ears) directly into a Zoom H1 with no additional processing
at all. Clip 1 Clip 2 Clip 3 Clip 4 Clip 5 Some other clips with the other
reed I made for the chanter

Make me an offer, perhaps somewhere around £800. I'm no
longer in a hurry to sell this, as I
have a boxwood B chanter going out. It comes with
the usual warranty. It's a very nice chanter . . there's no catch!
