Leicestershire Smallpipes in C and D by Julian Goodacre
The set consists of 2 interchandeable chanters and an adjustable drone, so can be played in C or D. Mouth blown.
This set of pipes was bought 11 years ago as a present for my wife but she never mastered playing them.
They are hardly used and in perfect condition.
Rather than sitting in their case in a wardrobe, they need to be played and enjoyed.
Julian has advised that a new set would cost around £900. We would be happy to let them go to a good home for £600, postage included.
If interested, please contact mintychris’at’Hotmail.com. Photos can be provided if required.

Säckpipa by Alban Faust
This säckpipa was crafted by Alban Faust in 2013. It is his fully loaded variant that he calls the “nothern uilleann pipes.” The instrument is made out of olive wood with reindeer horn and blackwood mounts. It features three drones, the highest one matches the main note of the chanter, the middle one provides a 4th/5th, and then the lowest one is an octave lower than the main note on the chanter. Each drone is tunable up or down one whole step. This allows the drones to be used with any of the three chanters. This drone configuration also allows for playing in a plethora of different modes. The chanters included are in C/F, D/G, and E/A, the C/F and D/G have an additional key to extend the range by one note. All chanters include the maximum amount of double holes, allowing for more chromatic possibilities. I also will be including some cane and other reed making supplies specific to säckpipa. Depending on the shipping costs I may be able to include a nice case for it. I originally paid $5,000 for this instrument and waited about two years for it to be made. I am asking $3,750 or best offer. The instrument is located in the U.S. but international shipping via EMS or FedEx can easily be arranged.

Border pipes in G by Sean Jones
Made in 2004, a set of bellows blown plum wood Border pipes in G, bellows not included.
The chanter is chromatic with the lead in note F and overblows to the C above the octave. The three drones are in a common stock and rest, when played, over the right lower arm. The drones are G, C/D and g, the C/D drone has a plug on the side to select note and one in the end the stop it. The bass drone is triple bored, hence the short length. They are in good working order and also come with a hard case. £565

Zampogna by Marco Ciancaruso
Zampogna made by Marco Ciancaruso of Chiasso, Switzerland, in 2006.
The chanters are both G to D but an octave apart, the bass chanter runs G, A, Bb, B, C, D and the top chanter has the additions of an F# lead in and C#. The single drone is D, same note as the D on the bass chanter. The instrument is set up for use with bellows, not included. The woods are various but all appear to be fruit. The pipes are in working order through some understanding of setting up is useful, they are Zampogna! They come with a hard case and some Zampogna music including a simple tutorial. £475
