hello,

I saw in some earlier threads (around February) that some people were looking for second-hand bagpipes. I have two sets for sale:

1. Gillanders McLeod 1989 African blackwood, plain turned, Gore-tex bag, cane reeds, one owner from new (me!); nice-sounding set; 450 pounds (plus P&P)

2. McPherson J Tweedie approx 40 years old, fully combed, imitation ivory mounts, hide bag, original chanter; 650 pounds (plus P&P)

If anyone is interested, please contact me. I'm based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Wow, thanks for that offer! But with the magnificent monthly income of 747 Euros (for me and my daughter), which is about 375 British pounds, I am afraid I cannot afford to take this chance... I'm even feeling sick about spending 30 dollars on a book by Napier...

But I hope you'll find a buyer here!!!
If not, try ebay!

All the best!

Thanks for the info! I hope you get your Napier book

All the best,

Nick

Thanks Nick! Hope indeed I'll get it. Three volumes, all printed in the 1860's. For 30 dollars, this would be great...

Nick, I just wonder what a set of pipes would cost new? Must be a fortune, then...

I think you will find someone to buy them. Good luck!

Hello again!

Thanks for your info and your question re the cost of new pipes. Depending on decoration and finish, they can range from 500 to 2,500 pounds. I have heard of an eccentric, wealthy doctor in Aberdeen spending 10,000 pounds on a complete silver set...

Regards,

Nick

Wow, that ´s a lot of money... Maybe I should specialize on cosmetic surgery. These guys get most of the money...
