[NSP] Re: Second hand burleigh pipes
You can probably purchase a brand new set of Burleigh pipes for the amount the seller is asking.

Can someone tell me if 430 UKP is a fair price? As I am a starter with no experience in pipes and NSP's are very rare over here in Belgium, could any of you give me some advice where I should pay attention to in order to detect malfunction a.o. before buying the instrument.

[NSP] Re: Second hand burleigh pipes
From another learner who has done a lot of research into buying used NSP's. Find out if they have the original cane drone reeds or if they have been replaced with composite. Composite reeds would be a better buy. As a beginner myself I don't think cane drone reeds are the best without the support of someone who can deal with them. The price is pretty close to that of a new set so you are really only saving on the delivery time. They might be all finely tweaked and in good playing order or the previous owner might have messed around with them so much that they need attention. He could be selling them out of frustration from not being able to get them going. You should really find out which is the case.

Can someone tell me if 430 UKP is a fair price? Guido: Find out if the set is working. And don't take the sellers word, you need to hear it, each drone, and the chanter, sounding a clear(ish) note. In the case of the chanter, all the way up the scale. If it isn't working, there could be a multitude of reasons, some simple, some complex. You could face a bill of up to around a further 200 GBP to make it so. On the other hand, you might be lucky. If you can find anyone to fix it.
