Hi, There is a Hall set in Edinburgh as Rob notes, which is not on display, but viewable by appointment. It will be part of a major bagpipe exhibition in August 2013 as part of an Edinburgh University 'Bagpipe Colloquium' to be held in St. Cecelia's Hall, Edinburgh. No details at present. EUCHMI is the Edinburgh University Centre for Historical Musical Instruments and has its collection in the Reid School of Music at Edinburgh. Their website has a full catalogue that doesn't include the Hall set presumably because of its recent acquisition. cheers, David, On 14 Jun 2012, at 10:15, Gibbons, John wrote:
