I have been sent a slightly-used set of David Burleigh pipes by an NPS member, for sale.
It is an 11-key set - 7 + 2 G#s, 2 F nats. It is only 2 years old, the owner says. No. 2829. It is a fairly typical example of a set that costs (according to David's website) 800 pounds new. Green bag cover, black ends etc, brass. It is in pretty-well original condition. 2 of the drone reeds need the services of a pipes-fettler (little g and big D) as they are currently either not sounding (big D - it's cutting out) or needing adjustment to achieve correct pitch (little G). The drone reeds are all cane. The chanter plays nicely at pitch, reasonable pressure: one keypad needs gluing back on. Depending on the purchaser's preferences and ear, there may be some minor tuning work desirable. The bag is stiff, but useable. It is a bit on the big side, so might not suit a very slim or short person (replacement could be an option for a purchaser of this persuasion). The bellows seem adequate. I am offering it as seen since I don't have time or space to do any tweaking right now. Sensible offers to me asap, please - I need it out of the way.
