Louis, Missouri, sent me some pictures from his collection along with some oldies worth a look. Tommy Martin, the Dublin piper currently residing in St. I hope you enjoy the shots as much as I enjoy these pipes. Geoff used spalted elm, a really nice timber in its own right, and (since I'd bought the tusk he used myself in California), he made a rather decadent ivory inlet, and I just think it's cool. Here's an OK pic of the regs, at a jaunty angle.Īnd here, just for fun, is a closeup of the bellows cheeks. Next, here's a nice shot of the top of the chanter (though not the chanter top), showing the nice ivory work, and a shot of Geoff's maker's mark. First, the set, in its inherent splendor. They are a twin of Patrick D'Arcy's set: a Wooff B set, in ebony with nickel silver and mammoth ivory mounts. Actually, they've been seeing quite a lot of action over the past week. " OK, so here are shots of my pipes put together and ready for action. Here's what he wrote on the Chiff & Fipple website: Some nice details of the mastadon ivory here too. Here we have some great high resolution photographs of Stuart Hall's new set of pipes. Kynch gives the band the Evil Eye after the mix up the 4&5th part of the 6 parter. To think I'd play with the Chieftains, much less strike up a freindship with Paddy Maloney is mind blowing. Otherwise, I'd a been playing to the air and not the house. the mic in front of me (btw) was placed there by Kevin Conneff (bohdran). something to always be remembered this was. This picture is great, as the other guest, & the dancers are not in veiw!!!!. Paddy said, ".next time you'll sit by me!" I answered. which paid off for transitions, as most of what I could see was the bloody HARP. "Me and my habitual make eye contact (ya can't take the Jazzman outa the Irishman :). Received this photo from Kynch O'Kaine from Florida. At the backround one of the sculptures of my hand and photography by Paul Donker Duyvis"
Here's what he had to say: "Here I send you some picture's of Rob van Dijk playing his “Ned” White (1810-1879) uilleann pipes set during a performance in the Marienburgchapel in Nijmegen in the project "zucht" (sigh) Pieces of this set were discovered under the floor of a house near Limerick. It's not believed that this is an original feature that the Taylor's used."Ĭarel Lanters sent me these three photos. Mike Carney added this to Patsy Touhey's set many years ago after he inherited it. it allows air to escape quickly from the set through that hole thus allowing the set to deflate faster and avoid any "uncomfortable" situations ) "That key was put on there to prevent "valve fart".
Please let me know of any updates or corrections: I received a question about the key on the main stock. He added a key to allow the bag to deflate rapidly. Some great close ups here of the Taylor set and a modification Mike Carney did on the stock. Tommy is playing a Kennedy set and Seán is playing the Patsy Touhey Taylor set. The two gentlemen photographed are Seán McKiernan and Tommy Canavan. Par Kristoffersson posted these photos of his visit to Connemara on the Chiff & Fipple message board.
