I have just been told of a very early D. Burleigh set of pipes for sale. The vendor / owner writes: "My pipes have not been played for some time, but nor they have they been actively neglected. They would probably need minor attention before playing. I was thinking in terms of about £400."
They are in Northumberland, and the chanter has 7 keys. If anyone would like contact details, please contact me offlist. The only caveat is that they probably (and I haven't seen them) have ivory ends on chanter and drones, with all that that implies. Hope this is of interest to someone.
