I do not but if I did I would lend it to you . Though , as it is zero degrees here in maine , I would say , go bundled up ,, or stay home . I think that it does not hurt to ask ,, :) ,, and it is showing your humanity . It is all too easy to get into a " bad boy " attitude on the net as it...

It looks like it is in pristine condition , I would ,,, GRAB UM ,,, . though the chanters can be a bear to reed up , unless you have some idea of the style , and what the maker intended the pipes to sound like , and to be played for . ...

I play righthanded on the pipes , thought I am a lefty , and played wistle for years as a lefty , when I got my pipes , i had to change hands , and now I have lost most of what I learned on the wistle .
