Hello all,
As I got lots of nibbles, but no bites, I am re-listing this set of pipes for $1,750.00. The shipping in the USA will be about $40.00, including the insurance, and will be paid by the buyer. I will admit to being very much in the dark as to the NSP market and am going solely on the advice I have been given. If anyone on the list has suggestions I would sure appreciate them. I would like to make what I can on the sale and, as equally important to me, find a buyer who will play and enjoy them. Many thanks, Michael Scarborough I am selling a set of basically brand new NSP made for me by David Quinn in 1980. They are of African Blackwood with Tiger Maple mounts. They have a 7 keyed, G chanter with solid brass keys. There are extra drone and chanter reeds, all made by David. I work with antiques and can say with confidence that they are beautifully made, with a beautiful, sweet tone to match. Photos are available and can be had simply be emailing me at [1]moscarboro...@earthlink.net, subject "NSP photos". I should stress that the set is in LIKE NEW condition except for the benefit of a beautiful patina gained with age. There are no cracks, dings, are abrasions anywhere. Except for the few months I spent attempting to learn to play them 30 years ago, they have been properly stored ever since. The pipes have just returned from David's shop where they received new key pads, a new chanter reed, and a good going over to be sure they were in top condition. Here is a link to an audio file of David, who admitted that he was rusty at playing the NSP, graciously obliging me by playing a couple of tunes on this set of pipes. They, and his verbal assessment of the pipes, can be heard by going to this link; [2]http://files.me.com/nakris/srwmxv There are some other odds and ends included; the Richard Butler Tutor, a brand new Korg chromatic tuner, and a new spool of waxed Bagpipe Hemp.
